Administrative and Environmental Law

Entrepreneurs are increasingly being confronted by tougher European and national regulations in the field of environment and spatial planning. The role of government in these matters is a matter of continuous concern for many companies and the Administrative and Environmental Law practice group assists their clients in their relationships with government. These clients are drawn predominantly from the commercial sector and the practice group thus focuses specifically on development projects, environmental permits, waste removal and soil contamination.

The lawyers of the Administrative and Environmental Law practice group:

• advise on environmental permits, recovery or disposal of waste and soil contamination
• provide legal assistance and advice on the import and export of waste materials
• advise on potential or actual government action in respect of development projects
• advise on and also engage in legal proceedings in developing and enforcing policy
• advise on loss suffered as a result of government action
• advise on environmental and permit issues arising from commercial transactions.
