Our Approach
We've represented countless sellers, purchasers, and redevelopers of environmentally impacted properties in New England and across the United States. And we apply this significant experience to determine, explain, and negotiate terms for allocating environmental risks. You need a risk management strategy that is carefully calibrated to fit your specific circumstances — including the magnitude of risk, importance of precedent, and relationships among the various stakeholders. We'll help you define your legal and business objectives to find the path forward.
