Environmental group and multi-party actions

Hugh James solicitors is one of the country’s leading specialists in environmental law and group actions. 

We act on behalf of communities across the UK both large and small affected by various forms of environmental pollution and nuisance.

How Hugh James environmental solicitors can help

In our experience as one of the country's leading environmental solicitors we believe that where people’s lives are blighted by environmental problems a group or class action could assist in providing a solution to the environmental nuisance. Such problems could be unpleasant odours from landfill sites or industrial plants, noisy factories or new road developments.

 

Environmental compensation claims

Our specialist environmental solicitors help residents fight for the enforcement of their legal rights by seeking court orders to prevent further harm or problems. We also pursue compensation claims for loss of property enjoyment or property value due to an environmental nuisance or problem.

The Hugh James solicitors environmental law team often handles highly complex technical and legal issues in environmental actions and has a wealth of knowledge to draw on from past experiences. Please read through all our environmental cases or see details of each of our ongoing environmental group action cases listed on the left and below.

Testimonials

“Hugh James Solicitors recently successfully represented local residents in a difficult and major claim against a landfill operator. Throughout the case we were extremely impressed by the way in which the case was presented and handled. The solicitor acting on our behalf fully explained our position, opportunities and strategies, at all times displaying professionalism of the highest order. The pleasant, courteous and patient manner in which everything was fully and effectively explained contributed greatly to success in winning the difficult and complicated case”.
