ENVIRONMENTAL DUE DILIGENCE & LITIGATION

When making a commercial real estate transaction, hidden environmental liabilities can be devastating, costing up to millions of dollars in some cases. If you’re about to make a major property transaction including a purchase, sale, lease, or refinancing, then environmental due diligence will be a key tool for managing risks and avoiding liabilities.

Environmental professionals determine the extent and type of assessment warranted, which varies based on the property.
