Hull brings to the environmental liability assessment process the knowledge of financial risk management and the multi-disciplinary experience in the fields of environmental engineering, regulatory affairs, risk allocation, construction and infrastructure. With the combination of these disciplines, the quantification process provides an accurate assessment of the probable liabilities associated with the issues, assets or properties in question. Hull experts are at the forefront in developing and applying recognized and accepted methods, mixing engineering economics and decision/probability analysis to evaluate potential environmental liability in both financial and temporal terms.

Hull specializes in combining expertise in due diligence and financial liability analysis to develop rapid and concise characterizations of environmental liabilities associated with corporate mergers, dispositions, acquisitions and other property transactions. Taking advantage of the extent and breadth of our expertise, we can put environmental information and future cost estimates in a decision-making context that can be useful in negotiating contractual terms and process, setting reserves and developing liability management and mitigation strategies. Hull personnel have assisted attorneys and corporate environmental managers on numerous transactions, from single properties to several hundred property portfolios, with liabilities ranging from tens of thousand to hundreds of million dollars. We combine our expertise in engineering cost estimation with advanced methods of quantitative analysis, based in decision analysis, to account for uncertainties encountered in estimating future liability.
