Environmental Law Solicitors

Hugh James has built up a team of environmental law experts and has had unrivalled success in applying the law to protect the environment.

Specialist environmental law solicitors

Our specialist team of leading environmental solicitors have successfully conducted environmental nuisance claims for whole communities affected by various forms of nuisance.  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 relating to new or altered highways, airports and other public work. We have sought judicial reviews of government and local authority decisions which threaten to adversely affect people's homes and properties.

Hugh James environmental law solicitors 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.
