PHILADELPHIA — RTM Communications is organizing a conference October 7-9 on "SUSTAINABLE PROPERTY TRANSACTIONS: Closing Deals and Capturing Market Opportunities." The conference will be held at the Sheraton Philadelphia Society Hill Hotel - One Dock Street, (2nd and Walnut Streets).

Managing environmental risk successfully is challenging for all types of corporate and real estate deals from the portfolio and one- off commercial or industrial property transactions, says RTM. The environmental risk and liability concerns that arise in Mergers & Acquisitions to the legacy liabilities associated with the redevelopment of brownfield sites require the use of bullet proof legal tactics, deal strategies that can bracket and or transfer the environmental risks and the financial tools to close the deal.

Environmental risk can impact the success of closing the transaction, valuation of the assets, and the transfer of legacy liabilities. It takes creative funding, the bracketing of environmental risk using rigorous and alternative due diligence and remedial alternatives, and deal structuring techniques grounded in bullet proof legal and risk management strategies to assure that the redevelopment or reuse or su.ccessful disposition of the surplus or stranded assets can be successfully implemented.
