Helping clients understand site conditions, environmental risks and the steps needed to support development, consent and remediation work.

Working across a range of regulatory settings, Jimmy helps clients navigate the requirements of central and local government, including under the Resource Management Act and the National Environmental Standard for Assessing and Managing Contaminants in Soil.
