The amount of waste being generated is growing rapidly. Government is paying more attention to this problem, which brings with it a wealth of regulation and legal complexity. Until recently domestic waste was simply landfilled but this just isn't an option for the future owing to the environmental consequences. Waste management is becoming a sophisticated area, with a great deal of regulatory control. The focus is switching rapidly towards recycling and disposal by natural methods.

Our environmental team delivers practical advice on the impact of environmental regulation upon businesses. Our advice covers not only compliance but also the anticipation of the evolving regulatory framework and current trends in environmental issues. We act for operators, land owners and developers advising on option agreements, mineral leases, extraction restoration and development.
