Houthoff’s environmental practice operates as a part of the firm’s wider public law team. The group regularly assists major private and public sector clients with a broad range of contentious and non-contentious environmental, planning, and public law issues. Key sectors of strength include transport, energy, and real estate, as well as heavy industry, and the department is equally adept at handling climate change and ESG matters. Practice head Marloes Brans is 'a sharp advisor', and Monica Sonderegger represents developers, investors, and major landowners in cases involving obtaining environmental permission for redevelopment work.
