WHY ENGAGING A PROPERTY LAWYER IS CRUCIAL WHEN BUYING OR HIRING AN OIL RIG
As very experienced and seasoned Property Lawyers, we at Apex Chambers stress the importance of expert legal guidance when buying or hiring/leasing an oil rig, whether swamp or land rig. Oil rig purchase or hiring involve complex transactions, unique legal regulatory and compliance requirements and very significant financial commitments.
When Buying or Hiring an Oil Rig, a Property Lawyer will:
1. Title Verification: Confirm ownership and identify potential hinderances.
2. Environmental Due Diligence: Assess liability for site remediation and compliance with environmental regulations.
3. Permits and Licenses: Verify relevant operational permits and licenses.
4. Contract Review: Negotiate and draft sale/hire agreements, addressing issues like indemnity and dispute resolution.
5. Tax Implications: Optimize tax structures and minimize buyer/hirer’s liabilities.
The consequences of not engaging a Property Lawyer include costly disputes over ownership or operational issues; environmental liabilities; regulatory non-compliance and losses due to poorly negotiated contracts.
Engage an expert Property Lawyer to navigate the intricacies of oil rig acquisitions. Their expertise ensures a seamless transaction, mitigates risks, and safeguards your interests.
