Teams

Title: PFAS and capital projects: what estates teams need to know
Date: 19 May 2026
Time: 11.00 - 12.00
Venue: Teams

Synopsis:
This webinar, delivered by Mills & Reeve (speaker: Callum Ross), will provide a practical overview of PFAS (per‑ and polyfluoroalkyl substances) and their growing impact on development and capital projects. The session will focus on why PFAS are an emerging issue for estates and project teams, the key legal and regulatory risks, and how those risks can be managed in practice.

In this webinar, we will:

  • Demystify PFAS — what they are, where they are commonly encountered on development sites, and why they present long‑term environmental, legal and financial risk.
  • Explain why PFAS matter for projects — including implications for planning, contaminated land liabilities, viability, delays and cost.
  • Outline the regulatory landscape — how PFAS are addressed through planning controls, the contaminated land regime and other environmental liability frameworks.
  • Focus on practical risk management — proportionate site investigation, early engagement with regulators, use of specialist consultants, and contractual mechanisms to manage and allocate risk.
  • Highlight key takeaways for developers, landowners and project teams navigating PFAS issues as guidance and standards continue to evolve.
