Environmental Regulation
Our extensive experience acting for Environmental Regulators sets our practice in this area apart from others. For example, we have acted for Natural Resources Wales since its creation and for a number of decades prior to that for its predecessor bodies. Our lawyers have an in depth understanding of the factors at play and provide focused and practical advice.
Our practice in this area includes:
- Advising both regulators and the regulated in respect of compliance with a range of environmentally focused legislation
- Advising on land management functions including community stewardship projects and operations with environmental effects
- Water law including abstraction and discharge permits as well as the land drainage regime
- Advising on a range of environmental permitting topics
- Law relating to protection of habitats and species and consents under the Habitats Regulations
- Promoting byelaws including in respect of fishing and use of environmentally focused infrastructure
- Access to environmental information
