Waste & Contaminated Land Workshop

A practical guide to waste and contaminated land

Introduction

Waste and Contaminated Land are two key environmental considerations for industrial operators, the real estate sector and their advisers. Failure to understand the obligations imposed by the law and the potential liabilities entailed can give rise to heavy
expenditure as well as tying up valuable executive time.


This workshop will provide a practical guide to the most significant issues in the evolving law of waste and contaminated land. Recent cases will be used to show how the system works and how pitfalls can be avoided.
