If you’re working in the water and wastewater industries, you’ll know that they have undergone substantial changes in recent years. This goes for the laws affecting the environment and natural resources too. In order to tackle the range of legal issues you may face, you need an experienced team that understands the specifics of the area inside out and can keep you abreast of any new legislative or regulatory developments before they affect you.
Our clients include leading water and wastewater companies, investors, utilities, contractors, operators and governmental entities - so we’ve seen the water industry from a truly holistic perspective. Some of our lawyers have also worked as in-house counsel in the sector and our UK head of water was formerly a chartered civil engineer working in the water industry.
Our experienced team can offer you advice and support with respect to construction, operation and maintenance of water-related infrastructure, water trading, the acquisition and disposition of assets, project financing, private equity investment, water regulation and the development and licensing of new technologies.
Our dedicated water and wastewater lawyers work seamlessly with colleagues across sectors and across the globe. We can pull in support where needed on corporate, finance, construction, IP, employment, litigation or tax law.
Our global energy lawyers can help you with all aspects of water projects. The team have advised:
- water companies that represent 96% (over 48 million) of water and waste customers in the UK
- Sole Managed Legal Services provider for the UK’s largest water and wastewater services provider (15 million customers)
- Standard Chartered Private Equity on the disposal of its interest in a PRC water treatment business by competitive auction sale
