    Environmental Transactional Support

    Our environmental attorneys move our clients’ objectives forward by anticipating and developing practical solutions throughout the transactional due diligence process to address business and regulatory risks.

    /Overview

    Environmental risks are present in nearly every business transaction, whether a corporate merger, an asset or stock acquisition, an investment, a loan, or a real estate deal. Leveraging our industry experience and integrated knowledge, our environmental attorney team craft strategies to help clients anticipate, mitigate, and address these risks in a wide range of complex environmental transactional issues.

    Our team advises clients on all aspects of a business transaction. This includes facilitating environmental permitting for projects spanning various sizes, conducting due diligence assessments for purchasers, sellers, lenders, and bond issuers, as well as skillfully negotiating environmental indemnities within complex commercial contracts.

    Our environmental attorney team provides all the environmental, legal, and advisory services necessary to transform any kind of business transaction into a success story. Our commitment to excellence ensures that our clients receive the experienced counsel and support required to navigate the complexities of environmental transactions.

    /Recognition

    • Nixon Peabody has been named a Tier 1 National firm for Environmental Law in the 2024 edition of Best Law Firms®.
