In addition to our advocacy services, the environmental lawyers at Mann Lawyers are skilled and experienced in providing advice to clients who own or occupy contaminated property on issues such as:

  • Environmental regulatory compliance;
  • Reporting obligations;
  • Risk management;
  • Remediation strategies;
  • Director’s and officer’s liability;
  • Third party liability; and
  • The duties of landlords and tenants in respect of environmental issues and compliance obligations.

We also provide advice to mortgagees in taking and enforcing mortgages on lands where environmental issues are or may be present.
