When structuring transactions, it pays to have effective counsel by your side.

We advise clients and other lawyers regarding the important and often-overlooked environmental aspects of business and real estate transactions. We know what to look for in Phase I environmental site assessments and subsurface investigations. We review baseline environmental assessments and due care plans, so that environmental risks are identified, evaluated and documented.

When the time comes to structure your transaction, we provide effective counsel for drafting environmental terms and conditions so that transaction documents are clear and comprehensive.

As environmental issues are revealed, the potential exists for key individuals to be exposed to liability. The firm advises directors, officers, owners, landlords and tenants on the management and minimization of risks of personal liability.

The remediation of environmental conditions can prove to be unnecessarily costly and time-consuming in the tranactional context. We prepare agreements for site access, recommend experienced and capable technical consultants, oversee remedial efforts, and facilitate permit transfers. All of this can make an important difference when environmental issues arise that might cause costly delays.

Transactions that involve environmental risk can be efficiently managed with the assistance of effective counsel. Buckner Law Group is an effective ally on your team.
