COURSE DESCRIPTION

Environmental liability is one the biggest risks in acquiring and/or developing commercial real estate. When environmental risk is not accurately assessed, allocated and/or hedged, the parties to the deal are exposed to very substantial financial liability and the fundamental economics of the deal are jeopardized.  This program will provide you a practical guide to developments in environmental diligence in real estate deals, allocating or hedging the risk, and post-closing concerns. 

 

  • Sources of environmental liability under federal law
  • Assessing risk: Estimating liabilities and incorporating findings into deal documents
  • Developments in affirmative defenses
  • Contractual allocation of liability
  • Uses of environmental insurance
  • Post-closing concerns
