Real Estate Transactions
The purchase and sale of potentially contaminated land is fraught with risks of environmental liability to both seller and buyer. Such transactions require working knowledge of such liabilities and skill in the negotiation of the necessary disclaimers and/or indemnities in the instruments used in the conveyance or lease of real estate. Without such legal expertise, the buyer or seller may face enormous liabilities that would have been avoided, minimized or allocated to others.
We have experience in the negotiation
and drafting of the appropriate documents for such real estate
transactions. The firm can also assist prospective purchasers,
investors, and lenders in gauging environmental risk discussed
in Phase I and/or Phase II environmental assessments of the
property.
No representation is made that the quality of the legal services to be performed is greater than the quality of legal services performed by other lawyers.
