Product Description

Environmental laws, and the obligations and liability they create, can cast wide shadows that affect many transactions, from buying an undeveloped parcel to leasing space in an industrial complex. Helping clients identify environmental concerns, from compliance and permitting obligations to liability risks, enables lawyers to provide value by structuring transactions to reduce potential up-front and long-term environmental costs.

This new program addresses when and how to assess environmental issues in transactions, from the early stages of due diligence through contracting, and examines strategies for allocating risks arising from both traditional and evolving environmental laws. Successfully addressing environmental issues in a transaction may require input from not only buyers and sellers, but also environmental consultants, lenders, and insurers—and their counsel. Learn what information various participants require, and when, in order to develop a holistic timeline for addressing environmental laws.
