About the Program
The program will address ethical pitfalls in environmental matters -- in transactions, administrative proceedings, and litigation -- including conflicts of interest, bias, prejudgment, exparte communications, confidentiality, special issues of competency, emergency response, dealing with consultants and experts, addressing the media, and how and when to present information to adversaries and/or regulators. Real-life examples will be used to illustrate the points being made in the presentation. Since the program is being taught by seasoned practitioners, there will be plenty of time for Q&A following the formal presentation.
