The identification and evaluation of environmental liabilities in connection with corporate and commercial transactions is crucial to a client’s assessment of the viability of a business deal and the ultimate allocation of risks and liabilities between the parties.  BCLP lawyers have considerable experience in advising clients, including industrial and other companies, real estate developers, individuals and lending institutions, on the environmental aspects of domestic and international corporate and real estate transactions, including acquisitions, mergers, and financings, restructurings, public offerings and leasing.  We facilitate environmental due diligence investigations to identify, quantify and allocate environmental liabilities among the parties. 

We also draft and negotiate environmental provisions in transaction documents and assist clients in complying with environmental laws triggered by transactions and in negotiating environmental insurance policies.  We also provide counsel on other tools to facilitate transactions and mitigate environmental risk.  In addition, we help our clients manage risks identified in the course of transactions through post-closing compliance counseling and remediation oversight.
