Our team at Irwin Mitchell offer specialist environmental advice on regulatory issues, litigation, and transactional matters for various sectors. So, whether you are taking on building a sustainable real estate development or want to embed your environmental requirements into your contracts with suppliers and lease agreements, we will be able to guide you through the process to ensure you continue to make strides forward in reducing the impact of your business and products on the environment.

While there are penalties for not complying with some of the regulations, there are also many opportunities for businesses to drive efficiency and cost saving as technology, new materials, alternate energy sources and innovative processes become more developed.
