The group’s transactional work is distinguishable from that of competitors by the depth and breadth of the support provided, extending not only to in-depth environmental due diligence, but broadly across the transaction to pre-deal counselling, environmental risk allocation and mitigation, analysis of the environmental regulatory environment, environmental insurance analysis and procurement, environmental disclosures in securities filings, restructuring support, crisis management and enforcement, and defense of indemnity and regulatory claims.
