'Thomas has an impressive ability to see the whole picture. His advocacy before the Supreme Court is in a manner which the judge respects.'
Blackstone Chambers
Blackstone Chambers' team of 'expert counsel' is well versed in handling a broad spectrum of environmental work. Thomas de la Mare KC brings expertise in water regulatory issues, and the 'brilliant' Hanif Mussa KC is well versed in handling mandates involving renewable energy matters. Mussa's recent caseload includes appearing before the Court of Appeal for the defendant in R (Wild Justice) v Water Services Regulation Authority, a claim involving an application for judicial review of alleged failures by the regulator to monitor water pollution from sewage treatment works; the Court dismissed the appeal and refused permission for judicial review. Emma Dixon is a highly regarded junior in the space, with an excellent track record in acting for environmental NGOs.
