Environmental risk apportionment

The challenges faced by our clients

How we can help

Our team has the expertise to advise on and structure environmental liability apportionment through a range of measures. For example, we can:

  • advise on how and when environmental liability transfer make occur
  • draft and negotiate legal provisions to apportion environmental liability appropriately during the course of both property and M&A transactions
  • advise on specialist environmental risk management products such as historical contamination cover, pollution liability insurance, contractors/consultants' pollution liability, remediation cost cap insurance and professional indemnity insurance
  • use our specific experience in relation to blended insurance and legal liability transfer products.
