Environmental Law

To control environmental damage, the government appointed Environment Agency is taking increasingly strict action against individuals or businesses breaching environmental legislation, and the courts are imposing heavier fines and expensive clean up costs.

As members of the United Kingdom Environmental Lawyers Association (UKELA) Tees has considerable experience in acting for clients on environmental matters, and we can advise on:

• Water, air and ground pollution
• Negotiation of clean up costs attendant on past or current site contamination
• Waste management issues, including the granting of landfill licences
• Conduct of civil and criminal litigation under the terms of the law relating to environmental issues
• Updates on new legal environmental developments that may affect our clients’ business interests
• Compliance with Control of Pollution (Oil Storage) Regulations 2001

Tees are committed to ensuring that you are up to date with all major legal environmental developments that may affect your individual or business interests.
