Career

Giuliano Apadula focuses his practice on evaluating, managing, and mitigating large-scale environmental risks for the acquisition, sale, development, and financing of real estate and businesses nationwide. He employs a pragmatic approach in counseling clients on environmental issues by evaluating the business impact of each issue and crafting bespoke strategies, including contractually allocating and insuring environmental liability. Giuliano routinely negotiates, structures and drafts specialized environmental insurance programs and complex agreements that form the basis of the risk transfer process. He negotiates the placement of equity and debt for projects that would otherwise struggle because of onerous environmental liabilities, and he addresses environmental obstacles in merger and acquisition transactions.

His clients include private equity companies, institutional investors and real estate developers, with engagements that involve not only traditional corporate and real estate transactions, but also specialty transactions such as the redevelopment of landfills, military bases, and industrial facilities. His value-add environmental practice centers on practical efficiency, with the goal of helping clients resuscitate deals on the verge of collapse due to environmental impediments.

The attorney is providing legal services through and affiliated with Greenberg Traurig, LLP, a New York Limited Liability Partnership. Results may vary depending on your particular facts and circumstances.
