This practice consists of:

• Being on the vanguard of regulatory issues arising under the EU climate change initiatives; on cap and trade systems, we have challenged national allocation plans, both Phase I and Phase II, and are advising on border remedies. In addition, we have also been involved in the development of the EU regulatory framework promoting the use of biofuels.

We are advising clients on data protection issues arising under this legislation and the possibilities for registering companies to obtain legal redress against decisions taken under REACH and EU biocides legislation.
