Environmental L.A.W.S. – Hot Topics Under UK Environmental Laws

In this episode, Andrew Kolesar of Thompson Hine is joined by Michael Barlow of Burges Salmon LLP for a discussion of hot topics under UK environmental laws. Mike is the head of Burges Salmon’s energy and utilities sector group and leads the firm’s water team. He provides his insights on post-Brexit environmental laws, including “UK REACH”; the status of the deliberations over the Environment Bill; enforcement trends; climate change and “net zero” objectives; and ESG initiatives. As Mike discusses in the podcast, it is “not business as usual” in the UK and it is important to follow closely the post-Brexit legal developments.
