Environmental law is a broad and often complex area of law and is characterised by the rapid succession of legislative amendments and case law. For example, we are currently preparing for the advent of the Environmental Law Act and are involved in research into the possibilities of introducing punitive enforcement in environmental law. The influence of 'Brussels' in environmental law is considerable. All this makes it complicated for companies and individuals who have to abide by the rules, and for the (governmental) bodies that have to enforce and/or implement the laws.

+31 (0)10 4406440 info@ploum.nlThorough up-to-date legal knowledge of environmental and administrative law is required when applying for permits and a variety of procedures, including enforcement procedures and (administrative) supervision. This not only concerns environmental law in the broadest sense of the word, including the environment, water, nature and waste, but also spatial administrative law.
Ploum will be happy to advise you quickly and practically on all your questions in the field of environmental law and administrative law. Our team is often deployed to provide support in the form of 'crisis management'. Our team consists of enthusiastic employees with several specialisms. And because we act for both private companies and government bodies, we know how to think and operate from both sides. As a result, we have a good understanding of the interests and positions of both parties. In this case: 'it takes one to know one'.
