The combination of South Africa's unique natural resources and the government's commitment to fast-tracking the country's emerging economy, is making environmental and sustainability law a progressively more regulated area.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
South African environmental law is continually evolving and now incorporates contemporary principles such as the "polluter pays", "cradle-to-grave" and the "precautionary principle". Environmental liability is strict and wide enough to hold companies, parent companies, lenders and even directors and officers responsible for contamination.
Our Environmental and Sustainability lawyers have proven skills and substantial experience, in providing South African, Trans-African and international clients, in both the public and private sectors, with solutions to meet their environmental law needs.
