Specialist environmental law solicitors
Our specialist team of leading
environmental solicitors has successfully conducted environmental
nuisance claims for whole communities affected
by various forms of environmental pollution. We have
particular expertise in environmental nuisance claims caused by
landfill sites, sewage treatment works and factories. We are also
specialist solicitors in claims pursued under the Land Compensation Act
including leading judicial reviews for new, expanded or
altered road highways, and airports.
We deal with most cases on
conditional fee agreements ('no win no fee') so that if we don’t
win your case there is no bill to pay.
We have been able to help numerous
clients by securing agreements to protect against environmental
damage and by winning compensation for damage already caused by
whatever means.
How our specialist environmental solicitors can help with your
environmental claim
We have conducted cases in relation
to some of the biggest landfill sites in the UK where noise, flies
and smells have made peoples lives a misery. We have handled cases
in relation to nuisance caused by smelly sewage treatment works,
dusty and noisy factories and intensive agriculture and nuisance
caused by the legacy of former waste and industrial sites.
We are able to provide specialist
advice on land compensation claims relating to new or altered
highways, airports and other public works under the Land
Compensation Act 1973. We have sought judicial review of government
and local authority decisions which threaten to adversely affect
people’s homes and properties. We are also at the forefront of
battling for claimants legal rights in relation to Human Rights and
its application to the environment.
