are you prepared?

Environmental law issues can arise in a broad spectrum of settings and are no longer the preserve of a small practice contingent of the bar. Civil Litigators, solicitors, and in-house counsel who handle matters for corporate entities of all sizes and types of operations can be called upon to manage environmental issues. This comprehensive publication is designed to bring both junior and senior counsel quickly up to speed on the critical issues and best practices currently shaping environmental risk management. The book focuses on select issues of broad application, and topics include: real estate and corporate commercial transactions, environmental enforcement and penalties, environmental assessment process, climate change, and water issues.
