Advanced Environmental Issues Seminar
Environmental Due Diligence for Mergers and Acquisitions
Environmental Due Diligence for Mergers and Acquisitions
Investigating the environmental condition of real estate pursuant to a potential purchase has its challenges – but investigating just one piece of property is nothing compared to the complexity of performing due diligence to buy an entire company.
Learn the critical questions to ask about your client’s deal and goals, and how that affects your approach to due diligence: asset vs. stock purchase; single property vs. portfolio; potential legacy properties – known as “Zombies” – that may no longer be owned by the company but for which the company may still retain liability; compliance issues with active operations; and potential enforcement actions and concerns that may impact a new buyer (including possible self-disclosure of identified violations to regulatory authorities).
Our all-star panel of professionals (including seasoned environmental consultants and attorneys) will discuss how to approach these issues with your clients, and how to formulate a winning approach to environmental M&A due diligence.
Speakers: Dave Moon (Terracon); Ken Jurish (Endeavour EHS); Yesenia Villaseñor, Esq. (Tesla Motors); and Lawrence Falbe (Miller Canfield).
