Environment

We act for leading global insurance clients and consultancy practices, in addition to contractors, sub-contractors, water and utility companies, as well as professional practices including engineers, architects, quantity surveyors and project managers.
 
We handle claims arising from exposure to hazardous substances, landfills or contaminated watercourses and we proactively advise on regulatory and environmental compliance requirements. Recognised for our expertise in insurance law, we are the first port of call for clients facing substantial environmental clean-up costs. We work extensively with waste management operators, environmental consultants, contractors, environmental specialists and their insurers on a wide range of environmental law issues, practice and procedure. Member firms are also recognised for their expertise in green energy, PV and solar plants both from a contractual and insurance perspective.
 
With specialist knowledge in respect of waste liability issues, we have defended a range of companies and specialists in matters pursued by the local, national and other government agencies. Recently a member firm assisted a major Italian Municipality in the first Italian class action relating to CO2 emissions.
 
Combined with our strong disease, property damage, product liability and recovery practices, we provide clients with legal services that offer a complete solution to environmental claims where health, property and the environment are all significant factors.
