Benesch’s Environmental attorneys help real estate owners, developers, lenders and investors navigate environmental risks inherent in the acquisition, financing, redevelopment and operation of commercial property nationwide. Our work spans site diligence, liability allocation, permitting, remediation, redevelopment strategy and post-closing compliance.
Our lawyers work closely with environmental consultants, engineers and regulatory agencies to identify issues early, design pragmatic mitigation plans and integrate environmental considerations into the broader deal strategy.
Our team assists clients in securing the approvals and protections needed to keep projects moving, including environmental permits, No Further Action letters, brownfield agreements and public incentive programs that support redevelopment of impaired sites. We are also experienced in structuring environmental insurance solutions—including cost cap, pollution legal liability and contractor pollution policies—to align with project financing and long-term ownership goals.
When disputes emerge, we support clients in responding to governmental investigations and enforcement actions, addressing administrative proceedings and resolving environmental issues in the context of real estate, lending, bankruptcy and corporate transactions.
