What we do

Atma provides independent expert advice and technical support informed by decades of experience in contaminated land, remediation and environmental regulation.

Litigation support

Atma provides litigation support services for legal teams, including the preparation of detailed, evidence-based and peer-reviewed technical reports and expert witness statements. We provide independent advice and deliver expert witness testimony in courts, tribunals and planning panels.
Services also include reviewing site assessment reports, assessing environmental liability risk, advising on relevant environmental legislation, and assisting legal teams with technically accurate statements of claim and defence matters.

Atma conducts technical assessments of soil, groundwater, surface water and air quality to identify contamination impacts, define contaminant extent, and provide detailed contamination modelling.

We peer review existing site assessment reports and provide advice informed by extensive technical and regulatory expertise to assess environmental risk, potential liability exposure, and impacts to human health and the environment.

Services also include advice on remediation strategies, contamination management and indicative remediation cost estimates.
Atma helps clients navigate complex regulatory frameworks and environmental legislation through interpretation of statutory obligations, review of technical documentation, and practical compliance advice.
We assess whether reports, site activities and organisational actions align with environmental duties, EPA licence conditions and work approval requirements. Services also include managing communications with the EPA.
