Ice Miller’s Environmental Due Diligence & Transactions team works seamlessly with corporate, real estate, private equity, and financial advisors to identify, quantify, and manage environmental risks—keeping transactions on track and protecting enterprise value.

We support clients in mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, financings, joint ventures, and strategic alliances across industries. Our attorneys evaluate environmental exposures across multi property and multi jurisdiction portfolios, translate findings into business ready guidance, and craft pragmatic solutions to address contamination, potential contamination, permitting, and compliance challenges.

We bring deep experience across oil and gas, healthcare, automotive redistribution, advanced manufacturing, specialty chemicals, agriculture, and alternative energy—each with distinct environmental risks and regulatory considerations.

Some of the ways we help include:

• Environmental due diligence in M&A, including multi state, & multi facility assessments and coordination with technical consultants.
• Pre acquisition structuring & review, including scoping of diligence needs and evaluating potential liabilities.
• Facility siting & permitting assessments, including transferability, applicability, and compliance considerations.
• Contamination & potential contamination analyses, including evaluation of cleanup obligations and post closing responsibilities.
• Regulatory program reviews to identify federal or state actions that may affect transaction timing, feasibility, compliance, or sustainability.
• Closure assessments & implementation to ensure environmental compliance throughout divestiture or redevelopment phases.

Ice Miller’s Environmental team collaborates closely with corporate, financial, private equity, and real estate advisors—as well as clients’ environmental engineering consultants—to deliver comprehensive, practical counsel tailored to each transaction. Our collaborative and cross-functional approach ensures seamless integration with deal teams and efficient, coordinated execution.
