We Hold Nothing Back

Property Rights Vary Greatly

Every company is beholden to the environmental regulations that national, state and local authorities pass. These can be simpler regulations regarding pollution contamination or more comprehensive protections against natural disasters.

This also includes the legal responsibilities of buyers and sellers. Buyers are advised to conduct a thorough process of due diligence, including environmental site assessments, to identify potential risks. Sellers, on the other hand, must disclose any known environmental hazards to buyers.

Both ancillary to and independent of its Eminent Domain Group, Smith & Fawer, LLC has developed a unique sensitivity to protecting the rights of our clients and the immovable property they own. So, whether involving disputes over land use or contaminated property issues, the Louisiana Department of Environmental Equality, contracts concerning immovable property, seeking damages for destruction of property, establishing our clients’ interests in property, non-government land takings (which do occur), or landlord/tenant disputes, the firm as a whole works to protect client’s interests in all aspects of property and environmental law.

Simply put, we can guide you through many property-related issues. Our attorneys use not only their knowledge of the law but your situation to create a creative strategy that helps you achieve your goals and protect your interests.
