                                                James Vetter, Vice President, Environmental Practice

Appropriate management of environmental liabilities is critical in mergers and acquisitions.   If managed improperly, environmental liabilities may significantly depress expected return on investment, create a new burden on cash flow, and negatively affect the ability to close a deal or successfully exit in the future.  An appropriate understanding of the materiality with environmental risks, together with structuring the right environmental risk management or insurance solutions can be decisive in delivering results, and providing competitive advantage on individual transactions and overall business strategy.  Similarly, broader M&A risks may also inhibit deal execution and post-transaction performance including issues related to representations and warranties and tax liabilities.

 Mr. James Vetter will speak on insurance and risk management related solutions for M&A related environmental and reps and warranties issues.  Mr. Vetter is a Vice President with Marsh USA.  He has over twenty years of diverse environmental and insurance experience, and advises global clients on risk management and insurance solutions & best practices across many industry sectors with a strong emphasis in chemical, petrochemical, energy and manufacturing.
