CEC has the expertise needed to assist clients with the mergers and acquisitions of solid waste management assets while successfully navigating the evolving federal, state, and local regulations.
Since its founding, CEC has been involved in the solid waste industry and has maintained consistent and prominent involvement in many solid waste industry organizations. We’ve supported the dynamic industry and have continued to provide client-first services throughout the evolution of the market. CEC has the expertise needed to assist clients with the mergers and acquisitions (M&As) of solid waste management assets while successfully navigating the evolving federal, state, and local regulations.
CEC’s integrated approach to M&As due diligence services is designed to provide timely information to rapidly assess significant environmental, safety, or operational issues to minimize and manage potential environmental liabilities, business risks, and unforeseen costs. CEC understands the sensitivity and timeliness of M&A-related due diligence periods and has the breadth and depth of staff necessary to establish and maintain timeline requirements. Our M&A teams are led by principal-level, mixed discipline professionals with a thorough knowledge base of the solid waste industry. CEC stresses senior personnel involvement in these projects to identify characteristics and constraints that may negatively impact the viability of the M&A opportunity.
CEC has experience in evaluating and accurately documenting existing site conditions, physical site constraints, permit and operational limitations, and environmental releases that could be indicative of environmental liabilities, violations, and/or business risks. We have worked with solid waste companies to conduct due diligence before and after M&As to evaluate and manage acquired liabilities, assist with permit transfers, and provide support in the correction of ongoing compliance challenges.
CEC also has capabilities to provide cost estimates for remedial Best Management Practices (BMPs) for the identified issues in our M&A-related due diligence findings.
