Environmental Risk Transfer & Transactions

Greenberg Traurig’s Environmental Risk Transfer & Transactions Group helps clients navigate the complexities of environmental risk in real estate and corporate transactions, development projects, and business ventures. Our lawyers’ proactive, business-oriented approach follows three core principles: Define, Evaluate, and Mitigate. We conduct environmental due diligence, leveraging long-standing relationships with industry-leading consultants to identify actual and potential risks. We then quantify those risks in the context of the overall transaction, taking a pragmatic, commercially focused approach. Finally, we craft innovative, tailored risk-transfer strategies — including specialized environmental insurance products — to allocate risk, facilitate deal closings, and help maximize transactional value. From brownfield redevelopment to former military bases, landfills, stadiums, and mixed-use projects, our team delivers bespoke strategies that help minimize liability and advance our clients’ business objectives.
