DMH Stallard have a specialist waste and recycling group which brings together lawyers and planning consultants with experience and expertise in this sector. Members of  the group are recommended by the leading independent legal directories Legal 500 and Chambers & Partners in key areas such as, Planning, Environmental, Real Estate, Corporate Finance and Employment Law.

The waste industry is evolving at a dizzying pace and is consolidating rapidly as the market matures. Key players provide fully integrated, end-to-end services and new entrants are emerging as the sector expands. At the same time, there are frequent changes in legislation and regulation governing the waste sector.

Our sector team provides a complete range of services for the industry.

This edition of the DMH Stallard Waste eBulletin looks at the challenges and opportunities facing the industry and highlights some of the work we are doing for our clients including acquisition and selling of waste management companies and waste management sites.

Please let me know if you have any suggestions about any other information that you would like to see in the eBulletin or any other way in which we can improve it.

Yours sincerely
