Rupert brings over 25 years' experience to his specialist practice in environmental law and property law.
Biodiversity Law Solutions
Rupert provides a specialist legal consultancy, working with clients who require legal agreements in relation to Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG), and other nature-based, rewilding, and natural capital projects. His clients include landowners, land managers, developers, investors, charities, and community groups.
The primary focus of his work is on drafting, reviewing and negotiating the legal agreements (Conservation Covenants and S.106 Agreements) that give effect to your project aims. These might relate to the compliance requirements of BNG legislation for landowners and developers, or more widely to other commercial, charitable, and community nature-based projects. Rupert also handles dispute resolution where required.
