Commercial Disputes Weekly – Issue 174
A maritime flavour to this edition of Commercial Disputes Weekly, with cases on tonnage limitation and cargo damage, as well as decisions on state immunity and formation of an oral contract.
Health and safety in the workplace and environmental protection are high on the public agenda and breaches can cause major reputational and financial damage. Our environmental, health and safety (EHS) team provides practical support to help you comply with the spectrum of legislation, often working alongside colleagues in other teams to provide highly specialist, holistic advice.
We have an in-depth understanding of EHS laws, policies and how different industry sectors are regulated, both in the EU and around the world. Our acknowledged expertise in energy, real estate, transport and infrastructure gives our advice additional authority, and the breadth of our work across the global supply chain gives us a bird’s eye view of evolving market conditions.
Our experience covers contamination and remediation, lender risks and liabilities, M&A, permitting, licensing, consents and appeals, environmental impact assessments, risk advisory and mitigation, waste including transboundary movement of waste and ship recycling, water including offshore renewable and oil and gas development, occupational health and safety, product liability and product safety including CE Marking compliance and infringement, medical devices and substances including pharmacovigilance, RoHS, WEEE and ATEX, chemicals (REACH, CLP, GHS and BPR), narcotics, terrorism and product recalls.
