The prospect of reporting information to governmental entities, whether due to an unanticipated event or through a regular reporting program, often requires a complex inquiry into a myriad of factual issues and consideration of potentially overlapping statutory programs. BCLP has extensive experience in helping clients navigate this complicated terrain.

Reporting requirements can arise unexpectedly, as in the case of an unanticipated release or discovery of a previously unknown condition, or may be triggered by a planned event, such as the disposition of real estate.  Requirements can also be triggered during an internal audit, brownfield redevelopment, or due diligence for a commercial transaction.  In addition, there are federal and state laws that mandate the regular reporting or disclosure of certain information to regulatory agencies.  Our lawyers routinely assist clients in complying with all of these requirements.  In addition, because the disclosure of certain information can have public and media relations implications, BCLP lawyers frequently help clients formulate strategies for addressing these issues as well.
