Environmental Services
Stark & Stark works with top environmental consultants to help regulated industries, landowners, lenders, and other businesses understand and work within New Jersey’s complex environmental regulatory framework and seek, on behalf of its clients, to spur the growth of industry by invoking the Brownfield and other programs that permit new businesses to thrive in what were once blighted neighborhoods. Our clients include environmental permitees, landowners, developers, businesses and industry, many of whom have some environmental concern or liability and are able to take the macro view of the many related legal disciplines that are required in the evaluation, analysis, and management of environmental issues.
We maintain a team of attorneys to address the issues affecting property transfer, such as environmental audits, Phase I & II assessments, ISRA compliance and soil and groundwater remediation. We also assist clients in evaluating business decisions by taking into account the potential environmental costs and liabilities, which could significantly impact the feasibility or financial advisability of acquisitions and other transactions.
For our clients who commit their resources to compliance, we help them to recognize the public relations advantages of wise corporate stewardship of environmental assets, especially in the area of “green” marketing and Brownfield redevelopment opportunities.
