Environmental risks are a reality in today’s multifaceted economy. These risks threaten not only persons and property, but also significantly impact the financial strength and balance sheet of an organization. WGA’s Environmental Practice Group was formed to address environmental risk management and insurance issues that confront our clients. The Environmental Practice Group draws upon the vast experience of our team members, ranging from risk identification, assessment and management, engineering with loss control, industrial health and safety issues, and legal issues.

WGA’s goal is to identify areas of exposure, analyze available methods to address these exposures, select the most appropriate solutions, implement the solutions, monitor the selected solutions and modify them as circumstances suggest.

WGA has recommended and implemented environmental programs in the following areas:

• Acquisitions/Divestitures

• Contractors
• Engineers
• Financial Institutions
• Government Entities
• Higher Education
