At Martin & Associates, we assist our clients in identifying and quantifying potential environmental, health and safety (EHS) liabilities with a focus towards reducing the financial uncertainty normally associated with these issues.  By helping clients understand the practical implications of identified liabilities and providing strategic options to resolve these conditions, we strive to eliminate and control obstacles that could delay or even preclude a merger and/or acquisition transaction.
