Due Diligence

Marten attorneys combine technical knowledge, regulatory experience, and honed deal-making skills to steer clients around potential environmental pitfalls as they enter a variety of deals. 

We assist in all phases of real estate and business transactions. Our lawyers consider all major areas of potential environmental risk, including on- and off-site contamination, exposure to toxic tort claims, regulatory noncompliance, successor liability, and use restrictions. We work with and manage environmental consultants during pre-acquisition and pre-funding due diligence, including Phase I and Phase II environmental site assessments. We also draft contractual risk, liability, and indemnification provisions, negotiate environmental insurance vehicles, seek prospective purchaser agreements, and facilitate pre-closing modifications of permits.
