Environmental Law

It is now a well-established yet still-ongoing trend that issues of environmental responsibility are climbing higher and higher on both the public and government agendas.

Enforcement has been given a higher-priority and prosecution of offenders is becoming more frequent. Recently, the guideline sentences for Environmental offences were increased and such breaches can attract substantial financial penalties.

As an experienced environmental law barrister, I can provide the same kind of expert assistance and advice with all areas of environmental law (such as waste and water pollution) like most conventional environmental solicitors. As an experienced barrister, however, I am able to support an individual or organisation without the additional need for a solicitor.

Nuisance is another area of concern to many. I specialise in representing companies who have been served with abatement notices by local authorities who wish to appeal against criminal proceedings against alledged breeches of such notices.

If you require advice from environmental lawyers or you wish to instruct me as your environmental barrister, please contact my clerk and ask for Stuart Jessop on 0207 797 8408 or info@stuartjessopbarrister.co.uk.
