Clients rate the overall level of service at Bond Dickinson LLP as ‘first class’, citing the ‘confidence-inspiring advice and the team’s excellent understanding of the environmental field’ as key factors in its success. Stuart Wardlaw heads the practice and regularly acts for commercial, industrial and public sector clients.

Ward Hadaway’s Mark Whitehead advised New Mill Biogas on the development of a multimillion-pound anaerobic digestion biogas project in Yorkshire. Neil Robson and Stephen Graham are co-heads of the team, which has a range of environmental experience spanning landfill and quarry development issues, contaminated land and environmental damage claims, financial provision agreements for waste management licenses, and pollution and flooding issues.

Standout figures in Clyde & Co LLP’s environmental law practice include James Thompson, who is ‘focused upon achieving the best reputational and commercial outcomes for clients’, and Kirsty Gomersal, who regularly advises clients who are being investigated by the Environment Agency and the Health and Safety Executive.
