| In Principle

The contracting authority may require the contractor to identify its subcontractors in its offer. Then if the contractor wants to use a different subcontractor, it must assure that the conditions for participating in the proceeding are still met.

Before a transaction, an investor will often hire consultants to conduct environmental due diligence. The environmental impact of business operations are also an element of legal due diligence. How are these two types of due diligence interrelated?

Properly constructed contractual provisions should adequately secure the interests of the parties in the event of environmental violations. They are relevant to nearly every deal.
