Areas of Focus:
Karlie assists clients in all areas of environmental compliance for existing operations and environmental due diligence for real estate and equity transactions. Clients turn to Karlie when they are acquiring a property or company, and then rely on her environmental compliance counsel post-acquisition. She also has considerable experience advising retailers in various industries, from grocers and pharmacies to auto-related retailers and distributors.
Karlie has considerable transactional experience, working closely with the client's deal team to assess and mitigate environmental risk and to find a workable solution for each asset or equity transaction. She partners with her development clients to ensure that environmental risk is properly allocated and to ensure that environmental issues are addressed throughout development. Karlie's experience includes cleanup actions and transactions involving hazardous substances and wastes, underground storage tanks (USTs), state hazardous waste and petroleum cleanup programs, Brownfields and Voluntary Cleanup Programs across the U.S., and advising on risks and mitigation measures with respect to vapor intrusion.
Karlie's environmental compliance work includes counseling clients on regulatory compliance and permitting for operations, particularly under RCRA, CERCLA, and EPCRA, and has included obtaining permits and building compliance programs for large-scale, national programs to help clients meet sustainability goals. She also defends federal and state environmental enforcement actions, and she advises on facility-wide environmental compliance issues.
Karlie strives to find solutions that both achieve environmental compliance and are practical for each client. To do this, she works hard to understand each client's corporate strategy, business goals, and day-to-day operations and challenges.
