Corporations
today are faced with a myriad of complex issues that can pose
significant liability. Corporate standards and procedures,
customer specifications, general legal compliance, and perhaps
most burdensome – safety, health and environmental
compliance – require constant corporate attention.
Product liability and related issues, such as toxic
tort and other claims, can be difficult to defend and
financially significant.
Costs arising from historic environmental issues –
site cleanups, contribution claims and related transactional
issues – can be staggering.
The
professionals at The Intelligence Group have participated in
hundreds of such matters, in both litigation and internal
corporate settings.
Our staff includes some of the most experienced
professionals in the industry, with backgrounds in
