Environmental Law and Ecology Seminar

HALF DAY LEGAL TRAINING SEMINAR FOR CONSULTANT ECOLOGISTS

Keystone in Association with Penny Simpson are currently running a Legal Seminar that is aimed at consultant ecologists in commercial practice and will cover:

  • How to cope with the European Protected Species (EPS) licensing regime:
    - What are the up to date EPS offences/provisions (taking into account both the 2007 and 2009 changes to the law) and how should they be interpreted?
    - What is Natural England's up to date policy/guidance?
    - Where is there legal flexibility in the regime?
    - How should you/your client manage your legal risks arising from the regime and how far can you go in giving legal advice?
    - Handling licence refusals.
  • Update on key Court judgments from 2008/2009 e.g. on Appropriate Assessment; interpretation of PPS 9; and the duties of LPAs as regards EPS.
  • Environmental liability directive - what are the significant business development opportunities for ecologists?
  • How to deal with wildlife crime committed by clients.
*Penny is an expert on natural environment legal issues. She was in house legal adviser for the RSPB before moving to her present position where she now acts for a large number of public and private sector clients on EIA, planning, appropriate assessment, species protection, water and other environmental legal issues. She regularly trains ecologists on legal issues relevant to their work (she trained 18 of the main ecological consultancies on EPS licensing during 2008).
