Environmental LawBusiness acquisitions, real estate purchases, financing and property leasing are all transactions that almost automatically give rise to the need to investigate the potential for environmental liabilities. LETTE assists clients in determining what should be done to assess the risks and draft contractual provisions that provide adequate guarantees and apportion environmental risk in a clear and satisfactory manner. In addition, our lawyers have been involved in major environmental litigation involving, for example, the migration of pollutants from industrial sites to neighbouring properties, the potential impact of the discharge of pollutants into the environment on residential properties, as well as urban planning disputes linked to the release of industrial emissions. We have also represented the interests of corporations involved in environmental businesses, such as the treatment, storage, transportation and disposal of industrial, municipal, bio-medical and toxic waste, be it in the context of mergers and acquisitions, contract negotiations, financing, insurance and regulatory issues. |
