Mark A. Mintz and Stephanie B. McLarty, attorneys in the Business & Commercial Litigation Practice Group focusing on bankruptcy law, recently published “Are Escrow Agreements the Ticket Out of Midlantic?” in the July 2018 issue of the American Bankruptcy Institute Journal. Mr. Mintz and Ms. McLarty recommend that responsible entities—subject to environmental authorities and facing even the slightest chance of future insolvency—should establish escrow accounts to isolate funds in the best interest of the public. Accordingly, they explain the necessity of escrow accounts for entities that ultimately file for bankruptcy protection and set out the circumstances required to keep these accounts out of a bankruptcy estate so the funds may be used for compliance with all applicable local, state, and possibly federal environmental law and regulations.
