News & Updates Black Cat launches Environmental Consultancy service Environmental risk is now a core part of commercial property decision-making. Whether acquiring, funding, leasing, redeveloping or disposing of an asset, clients are increasingly having to consider environmental liability, sustainability credentials, regulatory compliance and long-term site risk alongside the more traditional building consultancy advice. That is why we are pleased to launch our new Environmental Consultancy service, led by Andrew Griffiths, who joins Black Cat as Associate Director. Andrew, based in Glasgow, will support clients nationwide across the UK and Ireland, further strengthening our technical coverage and reflecting our continued commitment to growing Black Cat’s reach across key regional markets. He joins us following eight years at Hollis Global and brings extensive experience in environmental due diligence and transactional risk advisory. He has supported clients across single-asset instructions and large-scale portfolios of more than 100 sites, working with commercial and institutional lenders, developers, investors and occupiers. His expertise includes contaminated land risk assessment, environmental permitting, pre-lease advisory, development monitoring and the supervision of Phase II site investigations. He has also supported clients through the planning process, advising on environmental submissions for sites earmarked for redevelopment. For us, this is a natural next step. Over the last 18 months, we have expanded our specialist advisory offer with the launch of ESG and Development Advisory services. Environmental Consultancy adds another important layer, helping us provide comprehensive joined-up advice across the full lifecycle of a property transaction. By bringing environmental due diligence in-house, we can help clients identify risk earlier, make more informed decisions and keep transactions moving. Andrew commented: “By bringing environmental due diligence in-house, Black Cat is positioned to offer clients a more joined-up service across the full lifecycle of a property transaction, from acquisition and pre-lease advice through to development monitoring and disposal. “Environmental considerations are now a central part of commercial property decision-making. Our role is to help clients understand the risks, respond pragmatically and keep transactions moving.” Since joining Black Cat, Andrew has already delivered environmental due diligence on a portfolio of student accommodation assets, working to a tight timescale to meet the requirements of a US-based lender and support a smooth transaction. This launch is another example of Black Cat investing in specialist expertise where we know our clients need clear, practical advice. It also strengthens our ability to provide national coverage with local understanding, supporting clients across the UK and Ireland with straightforward commercial property advice.
