Title: Buyer Beware
Description: A joint effort of 18 highly respected oil and gas and environmental attorneys, this new book addresses critical environmental liability concerns that decision-makers should have before entering into petroleum-related property transactions.

Through this text, the reader will examine exposures to environmental liabilities from the practical perspective of the negotator, gaining insights on exposures to anticipate, methods of identification, effects of environmental liabilities on transaction economics, and structuring the transaction for minimal risk.

The basic organization of the chapters provides general law on various topics-primarily federal statutes, regulations, and decisions - as well as specific laws in Texas, followed with commentary by appropriate writers on laws unique to specific jurisdictions, including California, Louisiana, Mid-Continent (Oklahoma and Kansas), and Rocky Mountain (Colorado, Wyoming, Nebraska, North Dakota, Utah, and New Mexico).

Buyer Beware is designed to help you and your company evaluate risks and establish protections against environmental liabilities in oil and gas transactions.
