Environmental liabilities associated with properties are not always readily apparent and can be complex. If liability exists, it can expose businesses to the risk of significant expenditures associated with clean up or other costs. Therefore, parties need a comprehensive understanding of the history and use of property, including whether it is contaminated or whether the past owners/operators violated environmental requirements. Whether you are selling, buying, leasing or financing a transaction, our environmental and real estate attorneys can provide valuable counseling that can help minimize risk and address potential liabilities.
