transactional work

environment - earth

 

We regularly advise on the environmental aspects of acquisitions and disposals, financings, flotations and major projects. Our transactional services include legal environmental due diligence and risk assessment, appointment and supervision of environmental consultants, negotiation of environmental warranties, indemnities and other contractual protection and advising on risk management measures, including environmental insurance.

 

Our lawyers have recent experience advising on, for example:

 

  • the aquisition of a portfolio of 22 petrol filling stations including negotiating the funding of a package of sil and groundwater remediation measures at each site, a ten-year environmental insurance policy and a detailed environmental indemnity
  • acquistions and disposal of former municipal landfill sites
  • the purchase of a 133 MW CHP plant, water treatment plant and other utilities infrastructure on a major chemicals and heavy industrial business park
  • the disposal of a leading UK retail chain of managed pubs, restaurants and lodges involving over 900 separate sites
  • a leveraged buyout of an international printing and packaging business
  • a major PFI project acting for a public authority
