Law360 Quotes David Isabel on Election’s Impact on Environmental Real Estate Issues

Trenk Isabel Siddiqi & Shahdanian director David Isabel, who chairs the firm’s Environmental Law practice, is quoted in a Law360 article titled “How the Election Could Shift Enviro Real Estate Practices.” The article previews how the outcome of the presidential election could redirect environmental real estate policy following a transformative presidential term that focused on issues spanning from the group of chemicals known as PFAS, to clean energy and flood mapping.

Isabel says that many of his clients are in a holding pattern waiting for the outcome of the election to be determined, but as soon as it’s known, they’ll be engaged quickly.

“A lot [of client concern] has to do with the disruption and what the staff at the administrative agencies like the EPA would use as a measure of success. Would it be [Superfund] site closure? More restrictive standards in terms of remedial alternatives being put in place? Would there be a loosening of cleanup standards? Those are the things we would be looking at in terms of the federal level,” says Isabel.
