Environmental, Real Estate, and Litigation Counsel
Where Finance Meets the Environment: The lawyers at N.W. Bernstein & Associates, LLC have environmental, real estate, financial and litigation experience to help clients solve multi-disciplinary environmental problems, including helping to structure environmentally sensitive business transactions. Our Primer on the Global Carbon Markets (updated October 2009) provides an overview of the $115 billion carbon markets and analyzes in detail the EU system and pending U.S. legislation. We can provide advice on the rapidly changing Clean Air Act regulations and on loans and grants to green industries. We have developed relationships with counsel in London and Frankfurt that provide us with a strong UK/EU capability, including financings on the London Alternative Investment Market (AIM). We also can provide advice on more traditional U.S. environmental matters such as CERCLA, Brownfield redevelopment, the Clean Water Act, RCRA citizens' suit defense, and on challenging proposed new government regulations. Contact the law firm regarding mergers and acquisitions, corporate finance, toxic tort defense, environmental law, or commercial property purchases, sales or leases.
