EarthRights solicitors: a public & environmental law firm that works with individuals, communities, campaigns and green businesses.

Public Law

EarthRights solicitors specialise in all aspects of public law - where the decision of a public authority may have caused an injustice to a citizen and the appropriate remedy may be a Judicial Review in the High Court .

We are franchised by the Legal Services Commission to conduct public law cases on legal aid.

Environmental Law

We have particular expertise on environmental issues - advising and representing individuals and campaigns on planning, pollution, wildlife and land law, appearing at public inquiries, and conducting legal challenges.

Over recent years we have acted on a large number of major development projects, including football stadia, road building schemes, sewage treatment works, incinerators and regeneration schemes; and on more local issues, such as phone masts and allotments.

Community Projects

We assist communities who wish to protect a common interest or achieve a shared goal.

This can take the form of incorporating a community company in order to manage a local project, to applying for the registration of a village green to protect local green space.

In all matters, we are regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority.
