Mines, Minerals & Landfill
Pinsent Masons is one of only a few law firms with specialist lawyers working in this field. We can advise clients on all aspects of their business, providing expert advice on minerals and landfill deals, and on the burgeoning planning, environmental and tax issues that affect such deals. We work closely with clients to ensure that legal documentation is both clear and practical, and that it reflects the way the site will be operated.
We advise on planning applications, planning reviews, planning agreements, contamination problems and the issue of waste licences. We can also draw on the services of our specialist tax team to address specific issues raised by VAT, landfill tax and aggregates levy and to assist clients in taking a broader look at the tax efficiency of their property interests.
