How we help
We provide legal advice on environmental compliance and successor liability, and counsel our clients about the environmental risks associated with mergers and acquisitions. We assist in negotiating an appropriate allocation of the risks (and costs) that environmental liabilities may present.
We have developed due diligence systems and policies (including environmental audit programs), provided ongoing advice on environmental regulatory requirements, and conducted in-house client seminars. Should it become necessary, our lawyers provide effective representation litigating claims involving environmental issues and disputes. We have experience in defending environmental offences and prosecutions, and our lawyers are fully capable of providing prompt and sound counsel from the onset of an environmental investigation or incident. We know the importance of dealing with sensitive matters in a timely and discrete manner, and we work diligently to help clients avoid the cost and stigma of a protracted investigation and hearing process.
We have also represented clients in project applications before regulators and have specific knowledge on hearing processes and the review of environmental assessments before regulators.
