Landmark Chambers is the set best placed in the UK to advise on environmental matters. Landmark was named ‘Environment & Planning Set of the year’ at the 2009 Chambers Bar Awards and James Maurici was named ‘Environment & Planning Junior of the year’ 2010. Landmark is described as the “first choice for planning and environmental matters” and in addition to our environmental regulatory work, our barristers are experts in the environmental aspects of town and country planning. With our strength in public law, we are the natural choice for environmental challenges in the higher courts. Our property barristers complete the package, with experience at all levels of advising on environmental issues in this area, including contaminated land and nuisance.
With such strength and depth, Landmark is at the forefront of developments in environmental law at both domestic and European levels.
All of our environmental barristers are members of the Environmental Law Association (UKELA) and the Environmental Law Foundation (ELF). Members also contribute to the leading textbook Environmental Law (OUP, 2nd ed.,2008).
Landmark has created a forum for discussion and commentary on all matters relating to Environmental Law, drawing on the expertise of our practitioners, tying in to seminars and other events. The Landmark Chambers Centre for Environmental Law (LCCEL) is a pioneering initiative for the Bar. The Centre cements Landmark’s position at the forefront of developments in this area. With our established reputation in planning, public and property law, the environment features heavily in our work, and several of our members appear frequently in the leading environmental cases both in the UK and beyond.
