Environmental Counsel for Local and Out-of-State Clients
We regularly advise clients about the various environmental issues that could affect real estate transactions and business acquisitions. Common issues include:
- Nonconforming land uses
- Soil or groundwater pollution from a previous use
- Environmental regulations related to a key permit or license
- Significant recent changes in federal, state or local environmental regulation
Our attention to the environmental risks inherent in the development, purchase or sale of real property, industrial operations or residential developments (particularly those built at a former hazardous waste generation or storage site) can help you manage the risk of liability.
At Seder & Chandler, our attorneys understand the environmental implications of business and real estate deal and use these issues as a way to negotiate a price adjustment, as a condition of closing, or as a matter of future indemnification.
In addition to offering advice and front-end support on the environmental aspects of business and real estate transactions, Seder & Chandler's trial lawyers also litigate environmental issues in Massachusetts state and federal courts. We also represent clients before administrative agencies throughout Massachusetts.
