Environmental compliance that protects your future

Environmental regulation is evolving fast — and the risks of non-compliance are high. Shoosmiths’ environmental specialists help clients stay ahead of legal obligations, manage complex risks, and respond effectively if things go wrong.

We advise on all aspects of environmental law, from due diligence in transactions to managing pollution incidents, remediation and redevelopment of contaminated land, and regulatory investigations. Our team supports clients across sectors — including real estate, infrastructure, manufacturing, and retail — with practical, commercially focused advice.

We advise on the potential impacts of new environmental legislation, manage permit transfers, and secure environmental insurance. And when enforcement action looms, we’re trusted to defend clients in regulatory investigations and criminal proceedings.

Whether you’re navigating REACH, emissions trading, or sustainability reporting, we bring clarity and confidence to your compliance strategy — so you can focus on building a resilient, responsible business.
