Transactional Matters
Real estate and corporate transactions involving industrial, manufacturing and commercial properties give rise to a wide range of environmental issues. McMahon DeGulis attorneys work diligently to reduce environmental risk and liabilities in all types of transactions, including property transfers, leases, construction, refinancing and mergers and acquisitions.
In addition to contract drafting, negotiation and due diligence review, we also provide detailed support in plant closing issues, insurance negotiation, permit transfers, and reporting requirements. Our legal experience and technical backgrounds enable us to work closely with environmental consultants to oversee and evaluate complex site investigations, remediation plans and operations, and Brownfield development options.
This support can be provided directly to the client coordinating the transaction or in conjunction with other law firms which may not have environmental attorneys.
