A vast array of modern infrastructure projects have at their core environmental objectives such as carbon reduction, flood defence and clean energy generation. We specialise in these projects.
Environmental factors and challenges are also playing an increasingly important part in all infrastructure projects. These challenges can arise at any stage of a project – from procurement and planning to construction and operation. Without specialist advice, these issues can disrupt a project with profound knock-on effects or even mean the project is scrapped.
We combine expertise across our environment, procurement and projects teams to help our clients to overcome all types of environmental issues. Our lawyers are skilled in making what are often complex issues simple to understand. We understand the pressures facing our clients and provide clear, effective solutions rooted in their commercial objectives.
Our specialist lawyers have a proven track record in all types of infrastructure projects. We also have particular expertise in projects based in the nuclear, renewables, waste and water sectors.
