The EDO has an active casework programme. This involves activities such as providing detailed written legal advice on your particular issue, writing letters on your behalf and in some cases, undertaking litigation.

The EDO receives a large number of inquiries for legal assistance each year. Free initial legal advice is available to everyone via our Environmental Law Line.

To determine which matters the EDO can act as your solicitors for, we have developed guidelines for written advice work and casework.
