Our minerals and environmental law service is provided by a number of specialists covering a wide range of issues, both contentious and non-contentious.  

The team brings together experienced commercial and property lawyers, some of whom have worked in industry and are therefore able to bring a good understanding of the drivers operating in the business sector. 

As well as advising landowners on a range of minerals issues, including how to get the best value from mineral deposits such as sand and gravel and hard rock, we also advise aggregates companies on legal issues affecting minerals extraction and related activities such as landfill and recycling.

Our experience enables us to help our clients to carry out successful developments in a field where environmental sensitivities, sustainability and corporate social responsibility are becoming increasingly important.

Our regulatory specialists advise on all aspects of regulatory law and corporate crime.  They represent Government agencies in prosecutions as well as individuals and businesses in defending alleged offences against the environment and therefore have significant experience of dealing with both sides of the relevant arguments.
