Kent Holland is Of Counsel with the law firm of Wickwire Gavin, P.C. in Washington, D.C./Virginia, and he is Director of Risk Management Services for the Environmental and Design Professional Liability unit of Arch Insurance Group, with headquarters in New York. From 1982 through 1986, Mr. Holland served in the Office of General Counsel of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, with responsibility for advising the Agency in rendering decisions concerning wastewater treatment construction grants disputes, contractor claims, bid protests, suspension and debarment matters, and minority business enterprise matters. While at EPA, Mr. Holland served as a member of the Board of Assistance Appeals (Grant Appeals Board), with responsibility for deciding audit disputes between EPA and municipalities and public entities that received construction grants, and he participated in writing regulations and policy guidance for the Superfund program and Asbestos in Schools remediation program.

Mr. Holland's legal practice has emphasized construction and environmental law—representing project owners, design professionals, and construction contractors in contract negotiations, claim resolution, disputes and litigation. He has written and spoken extensively on the subjects of construction project risk management, including chapters in several Wiley Law and Aspen Law books, and in the Construction Risk Management Manual published by International Risk Management Institute (IRMI). He authored the 200-page Architectural/Engineering Contracts Risk Management Guide, published by Zurich Insurance, and edited and coauthored Construction Contractor's Environmental Risk Management Procedures Manual for the Associated General Contractors Association of America (AGC). An extensive list of articles and books authored by Mr. Holland may be viewed at www.ConstructionRisk.com/aboutus.htm.

From 1995 through June 2002 Mr. Holland was the risk management consultant for the Design Professional Liability unit of Zurich North America Insurance. In that capacity he reviewed contracts of design professionals to comment on risk allocation and insurability of risks and he edited and generally wrote Zurich’s Architectural/Engineering Briefings, a legal newsletter. He has assisted in drafting several unique insurance policy forms, including Owner's Protective Professional Indemnity Insurance (OPPI), Owner's Protective Professional and Environmental Liability Insurance (OPEL(r)), and Contractor's Protective Professional Indemnity and Liability Insurance® (CPPI®).

As a personal interest, Mr. Holland developed a construction risk management Web site, located at www.ConstructionRisk.com, and publishes a free monthly electronic newsletter by the same name, analyzing recent legal cases and risk management issues impacting design professionals and design-builders. He is active in the Design Build Institute of America (DBIA) and was recently appointed chair of their insurance and surety committee.

Mr. Holland is a 1979 graduate of the Villanova University School of Law.

Description

The standards for demonstrating that persons have conducted “all appropriate inquiry” into environmental conditions before acquiring a property are being revised  pursuant to the Small Business Liability Relief and Brownfields Revitalization Act of 2001 (“Brownfields Law”).  A new rule governing what will be deemed “all appropriate inquiry” under CERCLA is being promulgated by the US EPA.  A draft of that proposed rule was made available to the public by EPA on December 5, 2003.  With these new rules, there will be some significant changes in the environmental site assessment process.   Read More
