What is Environmental Litigation Support?
Environmental litigation support is critical to the successful management of any claims, actions, suits, proceedings, or investigations related to environmental matters pending or threatened against the Seller with respect to the ownership, use, condition, or operation of the Property in any court or before or by any federal, state or other governmental agency or private arbitration tribunal.
