Provided by Cahill Gordon & Reindel LLP
Environmental matters in corporate transactions can be risky and complex. Our clients rely on our seasoned environmental lawyers to successfully navigate these issues in debt financings and restructurings, securities offerings and M&A deals. We frequently provide advice related to environmentally sensitive businesses such as oil and gas, mining, energy, waste management, chemical manufacturing and construction.
We have wide-ranging experience in environmental risk analysis and reduction, contract negotiation and indemnification arrangements. Our clients appreciate our ability to provide industry insight and practical business context to their most critical environmental matters. We often go beyond typical compliance and remediation issues and consult on a variety of evolving environmental concerns, including sustainable development, supply chain performance, alternative energy, and climate change.
Our environmental lawyers regularly collaborate with our litigators. We are experienced in many types of environmental litigation, particularly related to insurance coverage. We have handled cost recovery actions involving hazardous waste sites, claims for natural resource damages, environmental contract claims, governmental enforcement proceedings, and toxic tort matters. We also use alternative dispute resolution, including mediation and arbitration, to bring positive, out-of-court resolutions to our clients' environmental disputes.
