Enforcement and compliance

We have substantial experience in advising on the difficult legal questions about enforcement and compliance in the context of environmental and planning law.

We regularly advise authorities and businesses on their legal positions and help solve concrete cases about regulatory authorities’ handling of enforcement and compliance situations, and on the rights and duties of the addressees.

Our advice

We advise on issues such as:

legal or physical compliance with requirements
structuring of compliance processes
handling of the "intervening period", i.e. until the compliance method has been clarified and legal compliance has been achieved
interpretation of EU rules governing the manoeuvrability of the regulatory authority
disputes and appeals
liability in damages.
