If you find yourselves accused in commiting sea pollution we will be there to litigate on your behalf the complex issues involved. Recycling Recycling is with us, and it is here to stay. In this matter, as indeed in many others, what is important to you is our ability to foresee now the environmental demands that will be imposed on you in the future, as reflected in draft proposals for legislation and trends in foreign legislation. A current trend in Europe, for example, is holding distributors of electrical household goods as liable for the take-back of used goods. We advise you on the relationship of industry and its neighboring environment, on identifying possible points of friction between them and on how avoid them.
Noise serves as a good example.
The special care with which we regard this area of our expertise results from the fact that in it will be set the rules regulating your activities for many years to come. The main instrument used by municipalities and the Ministry of the Environment to regulate activities that have an impact on the environment, is the Business License and its Terms. At the same time we are experienced in contesting and overturning decisions to add Terms in a Business License where the legitimate needs, abilities and rights of your firm were not taken seriously into account. When holding an internal investigation of an environmental accident you are always short in time and acting under various pressures. Complex consequences may attach to such an investigation and to its findings, so it is imperative that you are carefully prepared beforehand and that it is conducted properly.
