Environmental Law Disputes:

Disputes concerning environmental law can take many forms. These can fall under the definition of civil claims as well as commercial claims. It may be the case that a claim involving environmental law may be commenced as a result of a grievance issuing out of a commercial dispute, but some civil aspect may also be apparent on the evidence of the case. For these reasons commercial litigation solicitors who have civil litigation experience can be invaluable in assessing the parameters of a matter as they either (a) prepare details of a case for a potential plaintiff, or (b) prepare a defence for a party responding to a suit.

If there has been an environmental law complaint made against you or if a matter has been filed against you, a civil and commercial dispute lawyer will be in a prime position to deal with the details and particulars of your problem. Solicitors who deal with cases across both civil and commercial areas have the benefit of shared intellectual and office resources and for this reason may be in a better position to investigate alternatives and options which may not occur to a specialist who has developed a simple niche in one area of law.

The synergistic and cooperative schemes at Navado allow the kind of cross-disciplinary work necessary to manage a complicated case and explore all possible avenues for either prosecution or defence. This may be true for a host of different practice areas and environmental legal disputes are no exception. A dispute involving principles of environmental law can involve or otherwise relate to disputes between residential neighbours, the use of land, storage of material on land, contaminated land and toxic or contaminating substances, the use of land for unlawful or illegal purposes. Environmental disputes can also relate to the conduct of business, alleged loss and damage to business interests or assets, health and safety issues relating to private individuals, members of the public, employees and contractors and even breach of contract and insurance matters can involve concepts relating to the use or abuse of land and property.

An environmental lawyer who has diverse experience in the civil and commercial areas will be able to draw on his diverse experience and the broad range of commercial litigation skills to offer comprehensive legal support for cases where litigation touches upon a host of different areas of legal activity.
