Environmental issues affect nearly every business and every real estate transaction. As the awareness and concern for the proper handling of environmental matters grows, so does the number of challenges.

Changing regulatory requirements, evolving technologies, voluminous reporting and tracking requirements, as well as insurance and liability issues have led to an abundance of questions and problems. They deal not only with how to manage the environmental issues of today, but also the liabilities of past activities. Few managers have the time or expertise to stay current with the complex environmental regulations.

Williams & Company is prepared to assist you in dealing with your:

. . . ENVIRONMENTAL PROGRAMS
It is easy to waste money on unnecessary work because you lack insight into the regulatory process.
Understanding a variety of methodologies and also satisfying the regulators requires unique insight. It is not uncommon for consultants to overbuild a solution to insure that they satisfy the regulator. Williams & Company looks for the most cost-effective way to accomplish the requirement.

. . . DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Getting bogged down with conflict resolution is not uncommon in dealing with environmental problems. Each potential responsible party (PRP) as well as related insurance carriers may enter the environmental arena with differing goals and objectives. However, all participants and potential participants should have one common goal--resolution of the environmental concern in the most efficient, timely and cost-effective manner. Environmental consultants provide an independent, third party assessment of the case facts and circumstances which can facilitate reaching a mutually agreeable solution.

. . . ENVIRONMENTAL AUDIT
Know the best way to protect yourself from liability when purchasing property that could be contaminated.
Owners of environmentally contaminated properties are strictly liable for the expense and remediation of their property. An audit will help identify contamination or potential sources of contamination.
