What We Do

We set a new standard in the industry for companies seeking to successfully divest underperforming and distressed real estate assets.

Since 2014, our group has assumed over $500 million in corporate environmental liabilities, managed the environmental cleanup of more than 10 properties and has never defaulted on an obligation. This track record is critical when choosing a partner for environmental risk and liability management.

Commercial Liability Partners (CLP) provides clients with comprehensive environmental liability assumption and complete and final liability transference services. With strong financial backing and a unique blend of expertise – real estate development, environmental underwriting, legal, insurance, and sustainability – CLP is able to provide clients with robust levels of indemnification and environmental guarantees.

RISK MANAGEMENT

CLP evaluates the property condition, the potential transaction structure and the liability concerns of both itself and the client. Risk management factors include historical toxic tort, NRDA, diminution of value claims, State and Federal regulatory issues, past fines and consent orders. Our proven approach effectively provides protection from all these risks with specialty insurance and indemnity protections with an umbrella of risk coverage at the lowest possible cost.

ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITY ASSUMPTION

CLP offers robust levels of corporate indemnification found nowhere else in the market, providing the maximum insulation from future liability (with or without real estate purchase).

REAL ESTATE PURCHASE

CLP has the talent and financial capacity to purchase and redevelop distressed real estate assets regardless of complexity or condition, and we're seeking to purchase distressed industrial real estate assets in all major industrial sectors.

GUARANTEED FIXED PRICE REMEDIATION

CLP will guarantee that remedial work is completed for a Firm Fixed Price within a predetermined scope of work – with any and all cost overruns being absorbed by CLP and affiliates.

MACHINERY & EQUIPMENT ASSET RECOVERY

CLP can provide maximum recoverable value for surplus equipment, machinery, scrap materials and other assets present during plant closure, utilizing auctions from its teaming partners.

REDEVELOPMENT PLANNING

Without a strategic redevelopment plan in place, a retired industrial site can remain in a perpetual state of blight and decay. CLP’s final stage of reclamation is providing a pathway to return distresses sites back to productivity. CLP has many development partners that assist us in provided vertical development and attracting needed investment back to the community.

OUR COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH

CLP is able to combine multiple elements of site closure into ONE comprehensive value proposition. Our VCE® system can be custom-tailored to meet the specific requirements of your project. It centers on three highly-integrated dimensions for success: Valuation, Collateralization and Execution.

Step 1: Valuation

We leverage our extensive remedial experience, industrial knowledge, and proven innovative processes to deliver comprehensive valuation for all commercial assets.

Step 2: Collateralization

We know our property owners want to effectively and permanently divest their assets. Our comprehensive process provides owners unmatched protection and piece-of-mind.

Step 3: Execution

We are dedicated in ensuring the job of restoring the site to a state where it can be developed is done for a guaranteed firm, fixed cost with no change orders.
