Transactional Considerations

We provide clear and efficient advice on the complex environmental risks that are raised in all types of transactions as well as effective tools to manage those risks. From the start of diligence, we advise clients on the appropriate scope of review and remain fully engaged to get the work done. With our wide experience in environmental permitting, compliance, remediation, and litigation, we are particularly well suited to identify a transaction's critical risks and liabilities. Where appropriate, we utilize a commercial approach to advise on transaction structure. We negotiate effectively and have the drafting knowledge and experience to carefully document the parties' negotiated allocation of risk, whether through remediation agreements, escrow agreements, indemnity or other provisions. We also have extensive experience with seeking and evaluating quotes for, and manuscripting, pollution legal liability, representation and warranty, and other environmental insurance policies.
