ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE

Environmental risk management and compliance is vital for the successful management of any business. Mismanagement of environmental issues can lead to additional business costs, enforcement, and prosecution action, with potentially serious consequences. We regularly advise on environmental risk management and compliance and environmental liability/enforcement issues. Recently, we advised Refining NZ on environmental liability issues in relation to the September 2017 pipeline incident and subsequent Government Inquiry. We have also recently advised forestry companies and other developers and individuals on RMA prosecutions.
