Every year natural disasters, such as hurricanes, floods, fires, earthquakes, and tornadoes, impose significant environmental harms, and many of these impacts are projected to increase as climate change accelerates. The emerging field of “disaster law” has a significant overlap with environmental law, both in responding to and managing the environmental impacts of natural disasters, and in the role of insurance and compensation in managing risks. This panel will review the legal components of disaster planning and disaster response, focusing on legal challenges that companies face in planning for disasters, ensuring continuation of operations in the face of disasters, and securing government assistance, regulatory relief, and insurance recovery in the wake of such disasters.

This program originally aired on July 3, 2023. Please note that this program recording is not eligible for CLE/CPD credit.
We all want to ‘go digital’ when it comes to contracts but how many of us know what this really entails? Undoubtedly there are lots of whizzy tools out there to buy and the benefits of digitizing the contracting process are clear, but don’t underestimate the enormity of the task. You will need time, money and a shed load of stamina and resilience. Rustum Rau and Manana Shrimpling from BT will share with you the two year journey BT has been on to digitise its customer and supplier contracts, from getting the basics right, to staying the course and managing stakeholders that struggle to understand why such a project doesn’t take more than a few months.
