ENVIRONMENTAL LAW
A specialist law firm with a track record of problem solving and delivering environmental law solutions to public and private sector organisations.
​
The climate emergency and the biodiversity crisis continues to be a central issue for regulators and policy makers, both in the UK and globally. The result is that all parties dealing with real estate, from investors to developers to occupiers, are increasingly coming under scrutiny to ensure they meet their environmental obligations. This isn't going away. In fact, the pace of change is increasing especially in relation to net-zero and the protection and restoration of ecology.
