Overview
Applying our extensive experience representing clients in cleanups at Superfund and other contaminated sites, Parsons Behle & Latimer has developed substantial experience in representing developers, prospective purchasers and lenders concerning the cleanup and redevelopment of abandoned or underutilized contaminated sites, often referred to as Brownfields sites. Many of these properties have historically posed significant legal challenges that have discouraged their cleanup and redevelopment. However, our attorneys have successfully utilized creative legal, financial and insurance solutions to assist clients throughout the Intermountain West with cleanup and redevelopment of contaminated properties.
The firm currently represents clients in significant Brownfields projects in various states around the West. Our attorneys have extensive experience in negotiating and drafting agreements with the government and private parties that limit the liability of our developer clients, obtaining government permits and approvals, pursuing cost recovery claims, finding insurance products, and negotiating and drafting insurance policies that address a wide range of potential liabilities and risks associated with the acquisition, cleanup and redevelopment of Brownfields sites.
