Environmental Law

Specialising in commercial environment law, Stuart Jessop can advise and support businesses on environment law issues ranging from waste and water pollution to environmental protection and regulation.

As an experienced London-based environmental law barrister, Stuart can provide the same kind of expert assistance and advice on all areas of environmental law as most conventional environmental solicitors.

As an experienced barrister, however, Stuart supports clients without the additional need for a solicitor (in appropriate cases).

Recent cases include the following:

  • Represented a waste company in sentencing proceedings for operating a waste site without a permit. He was able to reduce the subsequent order under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 by several hundred thousand pounds.
  • Representing a local authority in an appeal against the service of an abatement notice issued under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 on a large milk producer.
  • Represented a cocktail bar and restaurant in an appeal against the service of an abatement notice for noise nuisance. Stuart successfully negotiated the withdrawal of the notice.
  • Representing a waste company in proceedings under the Environmental protection Act.
