Environmental M4’s real estate attorneys have extensive experience in advising clients affected by environmental regulations and environmental issues in their businesses and real estate transactions, and have represented a diverse mix of environmental clients in such matters. Our attorneys have extensive expertise in representing clients and handling environmental matters involving a wide range of federal, state and county departments agencies (including the Hawaii Department of Health, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Hawaii Land Use Commission, the Hawaii Office of Planning, and various county departments and agencies). Our attorneys are experienced in negotiations with administrative agencies and providing legal advice regarding a wide variety of environmental issues affecting our clients’ businesses and real estate transactions, including: (1) environmental management of businesses and facilities, including legal services for regulatory compliance and reporting; (2) environmental impact statements, environmental permitting including working with environmental consultants in preparation of required reports and applications for permits under RCRA, FIFRA, Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act (NPDES and NPS – Storm Water Permits), SARA Title III, and State of Hawaii Land Use and Coastal Zone Management Rules; and (3) environmental issues in real estate transactions including real estate acquisition and sales, leasing and condominium transactions, construction contracting, title matters, land use, financing workouts, and regulatory compliance matters. In addition, M4’s Litigation and Alternative Dispute Resolution Practice Group – Environmental, also represent clients in environmental litigation, including administrative proceedings, criminal investigations, citizens suits and lawsuits.

We represent the clients in administrative hearings and other proceedings relating to such applications and provide assistance in evaluating and complying with applicable requirements of subdivision laws and related laws affecting land development. Title and Escrow Every investor knows that a clean, clear title is absolutely essential. It is important to have a lawyer who knows the questions to ask and the problems to look for when ensuring a title will stand up to legal scrutiny. A real estate investment needs the stability and security of a clear title. Establishing escrow accounts assures all the parties that the agreed-upon financial resources are readily available. A sound legal agreement can establish how the escrow account will be managed, and when and how funds will be released. This protects buyers and sellers during the purchase process. Escrow accounts also protect the project owner and contractors who are fulfilling contracts. Our experience includes: • Represented owner/developer in the planning, development, financing and construction of large condominium projects on Oahu. • Represented foreign bank on the agreed sale of a luxury resort hotel on the Big Island. • Represented foreign bank with respect to numerous borrowers involving numerous properties located in Hawaii and Guam. • Represented one of Hawaii’s most successful and well-known commercial property and residential condominium developers on restructuring a $113.5 Million loan. • Advised clients on the complex issues presented by ground leases in the State of Hawaii.
