Conferences & Speaking Engagements

LACBA | Los Angeles, CA

BB&K attorney John Holloway chaired the 2012 Environmental Law Super Symposium. This full-day program, panels of attorneys, judges, government officials, and industry representatives tackled a variety of topics of crucial importance to the environmental community. Topics included recent developments in environmental law, an update on recent trends in CEQA (including legislation to limit its application), the end of redevelopment in California and its impact on the clean-up of contaminated sites, and the status of the ongoing Delta litigation and its potential effect on water supply in California. The panels addressed topics of practical concern, including strategies to secure contribution to clean-up costs from potentially responsible parties, use of environmental insurance to resolve disputes and close deals, and dispute resolution alternatives to the traditional environmental litigation model.

Speakers and Panelists:

• Elizabeth W. Hull, Partner, "Brownfield Blues: The Impact of the End of Redevelopment in California"
• Steven M. Anderson, Partner, "Delta Litigation Update: Impact on Water Supply in California"
