RPS in Ireland

Due Diligence

Environmental liabilities associated with business and property transactions can materially affect the value of a deal and in some cases unnecessarily stigmatise a property or business.

RPS has a proven track record in advising both the purchaser and vendor in relation to environmental risk and liability during mergers, acquisitions and property transactions. Our geographic presence across the island of Ireland combined with our international presence in the UK, Europe, Australia, Asia and North America enables us to advise on all scales of transactions in a timely and cost effective manner for our clients.

­In late 2009, RPS successfully advised the Bord Gáis Éireann (BGE) Investments Division in the €500 million acquisition of SWS Natural Resources, a 500MW portfolio of wind energy projects across Ireland and Northern Ireland.

Other recent projects include:

Divestiture of the Brooks, Heat Merchants and Tubs & Tiles businesses across Ireland and Northern Ireland for Wolseley Plc (2009)

Environmental auditing and remediation at Dublin Docklands Site on behalf
of ACC Bank
