Carbon Law
We have developed significant expertise in the field of carbon law having advised DEFRA on the implementation proposals for the Carbon Reduction Commitment, the UK Government's new cap-and-trade carbon reduction scheme.
We also advise on carbon offsetting, Energy Performance of Buildings Regulations and "green" leases.
We work with a range of clients which includes:
- Carbon Trust
- FirstGroup plc
- The Crown Estate
We are one of the leading commentators on Climate Change Litigation. We write briefings and holding educational events on the emerging issue of climate change litigation.
You can read more about our work in this area in the experience section and about related work in the Renewables and Emissions Trading sections. Our newsletters and briefings are available in the publications section.
“We chose Burges Salmon for its commercial approach, together with an understanding of the emerging area of carbon law and emissions trading.”
