Bowmans has advised, as environmental law counsel, various South African corporations with regard to their environmental compliance obligations, risks and liabilities, as well as with respect to the reporting and handling of contamination at a number of sites around the country, including advising on the transfer of third party contaminated land to a client and the associated risks from the perspective of transferability of remediation obligations, and the like. Our advice typically extends to pollution and contamination liabilities, transactions involving transfer of ownership or an interest in polluted or contaminated land, mitigation of risks and liabilities as well as contractual risk allocation.
