Blue Marble Expands Services to Include Environmental Program Consulting and Environmental Litigation Support
Monday, February 25, 2010
Houston, TX — Blue Marble Risk Solutions announced that it expanded its Project Risk Management and Dispute Resolution services to include environmental program consulting and litigation support.
“By adding the ability to evaluate environmental risks and impacts, we can provide a holistic approach to our clients’ capital project expansions,” says Katherine Molly, President of Blue Marble Risk Solutions. “Capital projects inherently have cost and schedule risks, but often overlooked are the environmental and remediation efforts both before construction begins and after the asset is in production. Our goal is to be involved in the entire capital project lifecycle. This additional expertise provides our clients with a larger breathe of knowledge bolstering facts for better decision-making.”
Ray Schaefer, who leads the practice group at Blue Marble, states, “Full knowledge of a situation enables better financial decision-making. The business market is increasingly complex, and uncertainty caused by inadequate basic data negatively impacts the strategic and tactical assessment of your risks and opportunities. Examining your environmental, social and governance issues during your initial FEL activities will provide you critical information that would make financial judgment and decisions more complete. Addressing those elements early on enables you to manage those risks proactively and helps structure long-term stability.”
Regarding environmental disputes, Blue Marble provides clients and their legal firms’ analysis on source identification, liability allocation, remediation efforts and standards, and damage quantification.
