Gibson Dunn partners have highlighted key environmental, health, and safety (EH&S) considerations that can significantly impact mergers and acquisitions (M&A). Writing in The M&A Lawyer, Michael K. Murphy, Rachel Levick, along with associates Taylor C. Amato and Phil Washburn, emphasized the importance of early identification of EH&S issues to help buyers evaluate potential problems and develop effective solutions.

The insights were shared in the article “Top Environmental, Health and Safety Issues to Think About in M&A Deals,” published in May 2025.
