The Environment team regularly advises the firm's construction
clients on the environmental aspects of major brownfield projects
including legal environmental due diligence and risk assessment,
contaminated land, appointment and supervision of environmental
consultants, negotiation of environmental warranties, indemnities
and other contractual protection and advising on risk management
measures, including environmental insurance.
The team includes specialists in the conduct of environmental
disputes, judicial review of administrative decisions and
environmental warranty and indemnity claims. We also have
considerable experience of handling criminal investigations and
prosecutions in the environmental and health and safety field. We
use in-house advocates wherever possible.
We also frequently provide stand-alone advice to clients on
issues arising out of existing and anticipated national, European
and international environmental laws including:
- Site Waste Management Plans Regulations (SWMP Regulations).
From 6 April 2008 you must have a site waste management plan (SWMP)
for all new construction projects worth more than £300,000
(excluding VAT)
