Allocating Environmental Risks in Commercial and Real Estate Transactions

Environmental risks and liabilities, which can be substantial, are a part of most commercial and real estate transactions involving in-house counsel. Parties to a transaction must identify, evaluate and allocate those risks and liabilities in order to protect their interests; and the parties—sellers, purchasers, lenders and insurance companies—have diverse perspectives and methods for managing environmental risks. Learn the sources of environmental liabilities, including federal and state statutes, implementing regulations, local ordinances and rules and common law. Then discover contractual provisions for allocating or limiting environmental risks, including definitions, representations and warranties, covenants and conditions precedent, indemnities, releases and other contractual mechanisms to allocate or limit such risks. Speakers also will reveal non-contractual ways to allocate or limit environmental risks, including deed restrictions and environmental insurance.
