The law and regulations governing environmental issues in Ontario are highly complex. Lerners LLP lawyers can help you navigate the issues and manage your risk. We advise clients on the completion of environmental due diligence during the purchase, sale, lease, or financing of commercial, industrial and agricultural properties.
Our lawyers will assist you with environmental contamination and remediation litigation, investigations, negotiations and defence of prosecutions under federal, provincial or municipal environmental legislation, regulatory by-laws as well as legal-environmental risk assessment and compliance.
