About Giuliano Apadula

Giuliano Apadula focuses his practice on evaluating, managing, and mitigating large-scale environmental risks for the acquisition, sale, development, and financing of real estate and businesses nationwide. He employs a pragmatic approach in counseling clients on environmental issues by evaluating the business impact of each issue and crafting bespoke strategies, including contractually allocating and insuring environmental liability. Giuliano negotiates, structures and drafts environmental insurance programs and complex agreements that form the basis of the risk transfer process. He manages environmental diligence and environmental obstacles for real estate and corporate merger and acquisition transactions, and he negotiates the placement of equity and debt for projects that would otherwise struggle because of onerous environmental liabilities.

His clients include private equity companies, institutional investors, REITs, lenders and real estate developers, with engagements that involve not only traditional corporate and real estate transactions, but also specialty transactions such as the acquisition, sale and redevelopment of landfills, military bases, and high-risk industrial facilities. His value-add environmental practice centers on practical efficiency, with the goal of helping clients resuscitate deals on the verge of collapse due to environmental impediments.
