Environment

Environment sector

Heightened public awareness of the environment and concern for its protection, has led to increasing regulation and compliance requirements. This has resulted in a need for businesses to assess the impact of their operations on the environment, to understand their new obligations and review and (where necessary) modify their working practices.

Waste cycle

In this increasingly important area, B P Collins has extensive experience advising clients in relation to all stages of the waste cycle including producer responsibility, transfer of waste, recycling and means of disposal. We provide a complete service for clients in waste management, renewables and efficiency.

Waste to energy

We provide an exceptional service for waste to energy clients involved in a range of renewables projects, as well as having particular experience dealing with contaminated land issues and environmental issues in corporate and property transactions.

The cross practice environment team has the resources to advise on how this evolving area of law can impact on your business activities and provide guidance on risk management.

Environmental technology

We are familiar with the day-to-day workings of our clients’ businesses and have a sound technical understanding of the technologies being used, which enables us to cut to the core of the issues involved.

The firm is a member of the Environmental Industries Commission (EIC) and our environment team is independently recommended for client service in the latest edition of Chambers UK and The Legal 500.
