Mergers, Acquisitions and Divestitures often require assessments that go beyond the typical scope of a property transfer assessment, such as a Phase 1 ESA or Transaction screen. Environmental liabilities associated with the corporate entity become important, such as liabilities for past disposal of wastes at landfills or other disposal or recycling operations.

Beyond these risks, companies going through the U.S. Small Business Administration Loan programs now need to meet stringent SBA requirements for environmental review.

In addition, the status of compliance with existing permits and regulations and the potential impact of impending regulations become important in determining future capital and operating expenditures. Once a transaction is completed, permit transfers and other regulatory notifications may be required.

Caltha staff have provided due diligence support to numerous large- and medium-sized corporations to support their due diligence activities. This includes single- and multi-site portfolios with facilities in nearly all US states, Europe, Asia, Australia, and the Americas.
