Acquisitions and Divestitures
The attorneys of Carvalho & Associates have the knowledge, drive and finesse required to guide you through even the most complex transactions.
Our attorneys have worked on all aspects of acquisition and divestiture transactions, and bring a wealth of varied industry experience to the table. We arrange and participate in environmental audits related to property or corporate acquisitions and divestitures.
We frequently perform pre-acquisition due diligence reviews and draft transactional documents to clearly define environmental responsibility. We regularly assist clients during the Due diligence Process and Environmental Obligations.
Environmental Due Diligence
Given the onerous liability scheme of state and federal environmental law it is critical to assess and manage environmental risk. Our attorneys actively participated in the development of national environmental due diligence standards under the All Appropriate Inquiry (AAI Rule) and ASTM-E1527.
We regularly advise clients engaged in the acquisition and divestiture of environmentally impaired real estate on how to reduce and mange environmental risk using tested strategies developed over decades of experience in such matters.
We advise REITS, local, regional and national developers, banks and real estate asset managers on successful sales strategies, internal policy initiatives and risk management products, including insurance. Our advice is tailored to meet specific client goals and objectives, while reflecting varying levels of risk tolerance and ROI.
Brownfields Redevelopment
Our attorneys are experts in understanding complex and occasionally seemingly contradictory environmental local, state and federal regulations. We use our experience as in-house counsel for major corporations and as former governmental regulators to advise our clients on obtaining environmental permits and maintain compliance. We represent both buyers and sellers of environmentally impaired property and we are active in negotiating liability agreements providing for the redevelopment of contaminated land such as Brownfields. Michael Carvalho has extensive experience in representing clients in the purchase and sale of contaminated and environmentally distressed properties. He expressly understands the nuances of the regulations surrounding these matters.
