Issue spotting in Land (Re)Development
Environmental, legal, business and financial advisors help our clients (re)develop land in various contexts. This work gives rise to a range of environmental issues that advisors consider to facilitate redevelopment.
Join us to explore common issues from varying advisor perspectives:
Part 1 - Environmental Issue Spotting, including
-
contamination in soil, groundwater, and vapour
-
hazardous materials and designated substances
-
conservation and flood zone protection
-
species-at-risk
-
excess soil
Part 2 - Managing the development
-
environmental enforcement
-
regulatory requirements
-
financing and financial incentives
-
insurance to address past and future risks
The objective of this case study is to better equip attendees to spot issues that may give rise to concern when working on construction and land (re)development projects including when carrying out environmental investigations, excavations, and remediation and how to address and manage the business of land development.
Our 2 panels of advisors will canvass these issues at a high-level and with the objective of making attendees more aware of the complex web of environmental-related issues and laws that may be encountered.
