Environmental Due Diligence
Understanding the environmental impact of any business is crucial, and no more so than at a time of change in ownership or financial structure.
We work with corporate and financial clients and their professional advisers on both the buy- and sell-side to assess the environmental assets and liabilities of a business. We cover the main regional finance centres in the UK and through participation in the CAT Alliance we operate globally.
