Reed Smith’s Environmental, Health & Safety team invites you to join a discussion on managing environmental risks from PFOA, PFOS, GenX, and other “forever chemicals” (PFAS) in transactions. It is likely that more parties involved in real estate deals will start testing for PFAS on sites prior to closing. Insurance companies and investors increasingly consider these risks when balancing whether to insure or invest in a transaction. This in turn impacts real estate buyers and sellers, and the parties to any such deal must learn the new risk landscape in order to effectively negotiate within it.
