Business and Corporate Law

• Mergers and Acquisitions
  We conduct Phase I Environmental Site Assessments (ESA) to determine the liability to property owners, property buyers, or lending institutions during financing, mergers and acquisitions, refinancing of commercial real estate, and other situations in order to identify the environmental risks of a site and satisfy the “due diligence” efforts to identify any liabilities associated with a commercial property.  There are a variety of names for this process besides a Phase I ESA.  Sometimes referred to as a Commercial Property Assessment, a Pollution Liability Inspection, even a due diligence report.  Often, a Phase 1 ESA is required by the lending institution providing the funding for purchase or refinancing.

Employment Law

• Workers Compensation
  Our indoor air quality specialists can also provide expert witness, litigation support and insurance claims assistance for issues such as mold, chemicals and Legionnaire’s disease (Legionella pneumophila), water damage, and workers compensation. If we have the opportunity to provide an indoor air quality (IAQ) survey for your organization, we would use a step-by-step approach described in detail. At Atlantic Environmental our priority is to resolve our clients’ indoor air quality problems as quickly, efficiently and cost-effectively as possible.
