Environmental Risk Management on Transactions
Our Environment Team runs and assists on a number of substantial corporate and property transactions. We also advise on a number of transactions as a result of our work in the environmental, renewables and nuclear sectors.
In addition to the complicated drafting and negotiation that is typical on any such transaction we have also helped our clients to obtain environmental audits and reports from consultants and unique insurance products that have facilitated deals. Our experience includes:
- advising an international chemicals company on its acquisition of speciality chemicals business with operational sites in the UK and other jurisdictions, which involved co-ordination of PPC applications and negotiation of other issues such as climate change and emissions trading
- advising The Crown Estate on the purchase of a heavily contaminated site, which involved co-ordination of extensive environmental due diligence, including flood risk assessments and negotiation of relevant contractual protections
- advising a major multinational drinks manufacturer on the environmental issues arising out of its purchase of a long lease of a new bottling and distribution centre, including significant contaminated land liabilities and the legal aspects of an innovative environmental insurance policy
- advising a substantial chemicals company on acquisition of phosphates business including significant environmental issues, extensive due diligence, use of environmental consultants and negotiation of comprehensive environmental warranties.
