Hugh James has built up a team of environmental experts and has had unrivalled success in applying the law to protect the environment. Our claimant environment group has successfully conducted claims for whole communities affected by various forms of environmental pollution.

Over the years 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.

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.

We are one of the UK’s leading specialists in the field of environmental law and one of only a handful of firms in the country with the knowledge and expertise to successfully conduct environmental claims. We represent large communities right through to the individual with clients located throughout England and Wales.

All environmental claimant cases are dealt with by a dedicated team within the environment group headed by partner Neil Stockdale. Our environmental personnel keep up to date with legal developments that affect the work and together we have built up many years of experience in the field. We pride ourselves on the fact that we provide the same efficient friendly service to all clients large or small.
