Environmental
issues extend beyond “smokestack” industries. Today, environmental laws
and regulations have a significant impact on the operations of retail shopping
centers, commercial business parks, dry cleaners, food service facilities, vehicle
service facilities, print shops, and many other types of commercial and retail
businesses.
Commercial practices are bringing environmental risks to the forefront. Both landlords
and tenants, and their lenders, frequently require environmental assessments as a precondition to closing a new lease
or loan. The exposure to building owners and operators can be significant, as
these parties may incur liability for the unauthorized acts of tenants and guests.
Yet, typical commercial insurance policies exclude coverage for environmental
risks.
Our attorneys have extensive experience in helping commercial and retail enterprises
effectively manage environmental issues in business transactions, operations,
and litigation.
