Environmental
More than any other area of Regulatory Law, Environment has seen the most frequent and wide ranging changes in the legal and technical requirements that businesses must meet.
A changing landscape
More than any other area of Regulatory Law, Environment has seen the most frequent and wide ranging changes in the legal and technical requirements that businesses must meet.
We have a tried and tested panel of specialist environmental consultants that we can turn to, many of whom have formerly worked for the Environment Agency. They can challenge the claims that the Environment Agency make as to environmental harm and, if a prosecution cannot be avoided, will seek to put the incident in context and in language that a court can understand so as to achieve the lowest possible penalty.
