International environmental damage

Multinational corporations' activities can cause widespread pollution and massive environmental degradation, particularly in the extractive industries of mining, oil, and gas.

Companies in these sectors often operate in countries with weak environmental protection with lower production costs and the ability to influence the development or enforcement of environmental regulations.

The lack of adequate local laws and regulations or gaps in the means of enforcing them make it difficult or impossible for local people to protect their environment and secure rights that depend on a healthy environment.

Individuals from local communities invariably struggle to acquire legal representation to obtain compensation for damage to their health or livelihood. We specialise in representing individuals and communities worldwide who have suffered ill health and damage to their local environment from pollution and environmental degradation.

We regularly manage complex litigation involving claimants in remote locations overseas.
