Mergers & Acquisitions Due Diligence
A large merger or acquisition of corporate interests can demand a high intensity, fast-paced, expert team of environmental professionals who understand the "big picture" issues and total project commitment that are necessary to provide decision makers with information required for the deal. Chemical companies, electronics manufacturers, REITs, utilities, and M&A attorneys have retained EBI to perform their M&A environmental due diligence.
EBI can quickly mobilize a customized team of experts who are experienced in fast-paced due diligence projects. Team make-up is designed to meet our client's needs and can include senior-level experts in:
- Air quality
- Environmental contamination and remediation
- Asbestos and hazardous building materials
- Structural condition
- Facility decontamination
- Wastewater
- Mold
- Wetlands
- Industrial hygiene and OSHA-compliance
- Regulatory compliance
EBI can design and complete Phase II sampling and analysis assessments simultaneously at multiple facilities to shorten the overall due diligence schedule.
For every due diligence project, we strive to understand our clients' concerns and risk tolerances. One key to client satisfaction is our understanding of regulatory trends and pending changes that can dramatically affect future compliance costs and asset value. We consider these effects and also consult with our clients to identify "deal breaking" issues as early in the process as possible. We provide our clients with critical information in the formats and to the level of detail requested. EBI understands the confidential and sensitive nature of many due diligence projects, and our experts are experienced in tailoring a scope of work and reporting formats to satisfy such concerns.
EBI's mergers and acquisitions due diligence reports include:
- Executive summaries and debriefings
- Current-value mitigation cost estimates and timelines
- Permit evaluations
- Pre-occupancy subsurface and indoor-air assessments
- Remedial action plans
- Permit transfer packages
