Environmental legislation is a complex and often highly technical field in which Cartwright King has many years experience. We provide environmental investigation legal support at all times - from initial pollution or complaint to final outcome. We advise on liabilities, due diligence offences, penalties, director liability, clean up costs, enforcement policy, etc. We assist in dealings with the Environmental Agency, planning departments, their lawyers and the courts. We will rigorously protect your interests throughout.

We offer expert environmental defence in issues relating to:

	Pollution: water, air and noise
	Waste: disposal, handling, licensing, special waste, recycling, by-products, exemptions
	Abatement Notice and appeals
	Planning breaches

In any environmental investigation, the liability issues can carry consequences that are potentially extremely costly. It is an area that requires an in-depth understanding of Environmental Law and the methods used to prosecute businesses. Our experienced environmental investigations legal team appreciates the need for a swift response to any allegation, and thus operates a ‘flying-squad’ approach. What this means is that the lawyer advising will, if necessary, be available to visit the site at the earliest opportunity to assess the situation, no matter where in the country it might be.
