The use of any natural resource, whether land, air, water or coastline, may have potentially adverse affects on the surrounding environment.

Any business or individual seeking to use our natural and physical resources will need the assistance of specialist advisers who can guide them through the regulatory requirements of the Resource Management Act and obtain whatever consents are necessary to achieve their objectives.

Our resource management advice includes:

• Strategic advice on consent issues for development projects
• Appointment, management of and liaison with specialist environmental consultants
• Preparation for and conduct of resource consent hearings
• Representation before the Environment Court, High Court and Court of Appeal on appeals, declaration and enforcement actions, judicial review proceedings and prosecutions for environmental offences.
