Environmental Law 

A Law Firm For Life

Environmental Law

Environmental law is regulated by the Environment Agency and local authorities' environmental health departments. It imposes strict liability in pollution cases, so if you are being investigated for a breach of environmental legislation, Irwin Mitchell has the expertise and knowledge to help you to defend yourself and your business.  Alternatively, if you want to ensure that you stay on the right side of the law, we can help you to steer clear of breaches and avoid prosecution advising you on compliance matters.

For an initial discussion, with no obligation, call David Egan on 0207 421 3883 or 0870 1500 100. Alternatively you can send us an online enquiry.
