Environment and Health and Safety
Our Environment and Health & Safety Teams are highly rated and recognised nationally.
More details about the work, experience and expertise of these teams are available in the Environment section and Health & Safety section.
The teams form part of the firm's cross-disciplinary Regulatory practice. They work and train closely together. Some projects or cases involve discrete environmental or H&S issues and those are handled within the respective team.
However the synergies between the different strands of EHS practice continue to increase and much of our EHS work is now handled by a combined team. Joint work for COMAH industries (including nuclear, petrochemicals and chemicals/process technologies) is a particular theme.
We understand intimately the approach to clients to EHS/SHEQ functions and also the framework of risk and governance of which they form a key part.
Sources interviewed by the Chambers UK Guide to the Legal Profession 2009 praise our Environment Team for its "outstanding commitment to environment law" which "gives City firms a real run for their money".
According to interviewees our Health and Safety Team fields "a selection of lawyers with a variety of strengths, all of whom produce work of a consistently high standard". Chambers acknowledges that "the lawyers are the driving force behind the firm's Health and Safety Team, possessing expertise in corporate and criminal law".
