We have apprised clients of potential liability in the context of asset sales and loan workouts and have been involved in extensive negotiations and documentation for environmental remediation programs. We have considerable expertise advising clients concerning the Federal and State Superfund programs, underground storage tank liability and asbestos-containing materials, including operations and maintenance plans.
We have extensive experience advising clients on contaminated property issues, including obtaining orders for entry onto property for environmental assessment prior to an agency's decision to acquire property, working extensively with federal, state and local agencies to minimize the exposure of liability to agencies acquiring contaminated property and assuring that the environmental condition of acquired property does not negatively impact project schedules.
Lisa Greer Quateman conducted a seminar for ORIX Real Estate Capital Markets, LLC (formerly Banc One) on California environmental laws and lender liability issues in connection therewith. The firm was part of the RTC’s pool of law firms pre-qualified to handle environmental matters, for which we were selected based upon a competitive solicitation.
