Join Babst Calland Corporate and Commercial Attorneys Mary Binker and Ben Clapp for a two-hour CLE that will provide an in-depth review of legal considerations associated with the purchase and sale of environmentally distressed properties from both the Purchaser and Seller’s perspectives.  This program will first provide an overview of the framework of environmental laws establishing liability for the ownership or operation of contaminated properties, followed by how these laws and existing environmental conditions on the subject site can impact a party’s diligence considerations and inspections.  It will then turn to transaction structures and contractual mechanisms for allocating environmental liabilities between the parties.  Finally, the program will also cover voluntary action programs, brownfield grants, and other regulatory programs aimed at assisting with returning environmentally challenged properties back to productive use.

Please join us for a 1-hour MCLE presentation on commercial leasing co-presented by Greenberg Glusker Real Estate Partners, Brian Kang and Barry Edwards, followed by a fun Bourbon Tasting.

This presentation will address the following:

  • Key elements of a commercial lease agreement
  • The important considerations in today’s real estate market that go into negotiating lease terms

"In the Blind" Bourbon Tasting

Get ready to be surprised during the "in the blind" bourbon tasting activity during which attendees will taste four different whiskeys accompanied by educational content delivered by an Executive Bourbon Steward.

While tasting the various whiskeys, you will learn:
 
• What makes bourbon a bourbon?
• Exploration of bourbon mash bills (recipes)
• The Art of Barrel Maturation
• Bourbon’s Role in American History

Not a bourbon lover? We recommend that you receive a sample of each and smell them during the tasting. It’s still a fun sensory experience that will allow you to engage in the activity by sharing what you smell.

And, of course, there's no pressure to drink. There will be a selection of sodas and water available as well.

Parking will be hosted.
