Brownfields and Environmental Transactional Diligence
Environmental issues are often one of the key components in business and real estate transactions, and Barnes & Thornburg attorneys assist clients in acquiring and divesting properties despite environmental impacts by historic operations. Whether the concern is dividing environmental liability between the seller and the purchaser or conducting remediation before or after the closing of a transaction, our Environmental Law Department lawyers are experienced with the environmental issues you may encounter.
These environmental concerns should not get in the way of completing your transaction - whether involving a single parcel, assets or stock in a company, or merger. We will work with you to identify the relevant environmental issues and help you resolve them in a manner designed to protect you and assist in closing the deal. Our environmental attorneys who practice in this area not only have environmental expertise and technical backgrounds, but also understand the real-world context of these business and real estate transactions.
