Environmental risks in real estate acquisitions

Liability for environmental issues can be a complex path to navigate in European real estate transactions.

With the increasing economic pressures in the current Covid-19 climate placing a financial burden upon many occupants, this could give rise to landlords inheriting environmental liabilities.
