Greenlight currently provides environmental advisory services covering a variety of issues from pre-due diligence planning and review, progressive management of environmental issues associated with property management and ownership, and assistance with management of environmental issues that may affect property transfers. Our experience with institutional and land use controls, risk-based decision making, environmental insurance products, and other effective approaches provide alternative solutions to some of the obstacles that can impact real estate transfers and property financing and management. Key features of the Environmental Advisory Services program include the following:

• Management of environmental risk: Rather than proposing large and expensive investigations or remedial efforts, Greenlight’s approach typically involves evaluating the larger picture by exploring other technical or administrative solutions, when feasible, resulting in reduced expense.
• Portfolio Management: A major component of our Environmental Advisory Services is complete portfolio management. Our technical experts are capable of managing the environmental issues of an entire real estate portfolio, acting as an extension of our clients’ in-house staff. Our experience proves significant cost savings when combining the management of environmental risks of multiple assets.
• Assistance with and management of environmental liability reporting and compliance for publicly traded companies in accordance with the Corporate and Auditing Accountability, Responsibility, and Transparency Act.
• Technical Expertise and Wide Resource Base: Staff providing the Environmental Advisory Services have decades of experience in the environmental consulting industry, gained at some of the largest and most successful consulting firms in the United States. Our team specializes in providing imaginative and innovative solutions to complex environmental issues. The wide range of technical knowledge and expansive contacts within the industry establish a wide resource base from which we may draw for any given project. Our typical approach to program management as part of our Environmental Advisory Services program is to examine and evaluate the environmental liabilities associated with an asset or portfolio, and tailor a specific approach to minimize these liabilities through a combination of solutions. While Greenlight is capable of providing services such as environmental site assessments, subsurface investigations, and remedial studies, our experience has shown that, when necessary, it is typically more cost effective and efficient to assemble a team of experts to implement such a plan. Our relationships with other environmental consulting, engineering, and remediation firms on the local, regional and national level provides a resource base from which a specialized team may be selected to implement a program of risk management for an asset or portfolio.
• Key Relationships: Greenlight has developed and fostered successful relationships with insurance brokers, state and federal regulatory agency personnel and local and regional environmental attorneys. These groups provide unlimited resources and can provide direction for a variety of issues. Our relationships with these third parties allow us to provide tailored services to suit the needs of a client and their portfolio of assets.
