The development of environmental law at UK and international level, and particularly within the EU, has been rapid. The trend towards stricter requirements is likely to continue, with controls becoming more far reaching in their scope. Complying with the law can have significant cost implications for businesses, and this makes up to date advice essential.
The environment practice at Lovells offers competitive legal and commercial advice on the full range of environmental matters, contentious and non-contentious. It includes specialist health and safety lawyers, as environmental and health and safety issues often overlap; combines a personal approach with business awareness and the necessary technical and scientific knowledge; and has a well-established network of expert contacts within major environmental Government agencies, consultancies and universities.
We are also able to call upon the expertise of our broadly based international practice with specialist environment lawyers in Germany, the Netherlands, France, Italy, Austria and Poland, and in particular our Brussels office which monitors and lobbies on developments in European Union law.
Environmental issues often impact on the work carried out by the firm's various practice areas, and the environment team liaises closely with other specialists within the firm to provide an integrated approach.
