Managing transactional risks and liabilities.

When you consider a merger, acquisition, joint venture, or divestiture, timely and accurate information is critical. To understand the true costs, decision-makers must be able to quickly identify risk factors, quantify liability, identify and assess approaches to manage and restructure liabilities, and effectively communicate findings to stakeholders. Because such projects are usually fast-paced and multi-faceted, integrating environmental policies into an existing business infrastructure can be a challenging balancing act.

Our Approach

Malcolm Pirnie knows that to be effective, we must combine innovation and creativity with a strong commitment to client advocacy — while constantly adhering to the standards of practice. We provide an integrated range of services throughout the life cycle of a business transaction, from pre-acquisition evaluations to due diligence assessments and post-acquisition services.

Our approach centers on evaluating merger and acquisition targets through historical environmental performance profiling, determining internal risk tolerance and competitive advantage, and identifying “costs to align.” We work in partnership with you to understand such risks and liabilities as site environmental conditions, process safety and health issues, equipment conditions, and a facility’s emergency response capabilities.

Because our offices across the United States do not operate as individual profit centers, there is a high degree of cooperation and teamwork among our nationwide staff of engineers, scientists, and construction managers. This gives you immediate access to the diverse resources of the entire firm.

The result is an accurately directed and extensive third-party technical assessment of the environmental risks and liabilities associated with your transaction that effectively supports compliance with SEC environmental disclosure requirements and Sarbanes-Oxley concerns.
