WHY USE THE ENVIRONMENTAL LAW CHAMBERS ?
As a subject, Environmental Law has grown hugely in the last 5 years, fuelled by a never-ending flow of new policy and legislation, mostly from Europe. A subject once confined to issues of pollution and nature conservation has gradually expanded to include major areas such as Waste, Industrial regulation, Renewables, and Climate Change. That expansion will only continue.
With over 800 items of European legislation, 300+ Directives, and a myriad of implementing regulations across the different UK jurisdictions, the ONLY way to master the subject is to focus on nothing else.
With our unashamedly specialist focus we avoid the overheads of an 'all-services' firm. There are many fewer mouths to feed, and less administration. That means we can pass on the benefits of those efficiencies to our clients through our charge-out rates.
That's our USP - highly specialist input that's genuinely good value. Business has long been crying out for it but the legal market has been slow to respond - until now.
