Environmental Law
We advise businesses, property owners, and organizations on environmental matters involving regulatory compliance, contaminated sites, and environmental risk management.
Our experience includes issues arising from contaminated sites regulation, the handling and disposal of hazardous substances, recycling requirements, and environmental compliance obligations. We help clients understand their responsibilities, manage regulatory risks, and respond effectively to environmental challenges.
With a practical understanding of both legal and commercial considerations, we provide strategic advice to help clients protect their interests while meeting their environmental obligations.
Contaminated sites regulation
We have dealt with claims over contaminated sites, and we have worked with environmental consultants who are estimating remediation costs and obtaining certificates of compliance.

Dumping of hazardous substances
We have handled private claims as well as rights of action under the Environmental Management Act for dumping of hazardous substances.
Recycling regulations
We have advised organizations on environmental stewardship plans, on how to abide by regulatory requirements, and on how to deal with claims by participants over governance and operations. We have been legal counsel in judicial reviews respecting these plans.
