Hosted by: Andrew Buddle, Corporate Counsel, Teck

SUMMARY

Join us for an informal roundtable by in-house, for in-house.

The Energy, Infrastructure & Natural Resources roundtable group regularly meets to candidly discuss the challenges that in-house in this industry are facing and what worked for other counsel when faced with a similar challenge. Topics are provided by the attendees, so bring your questions to ask the table, and gain insights from the real-life experiences of counsel in your industry or sector.

E-mail britishcolumbia@accglobal.com to receive this, and future invitations to this industry roundtable group.

This program will explore what companies are required under SEC guidance, or may soon be required (by regulation or consumer demand), to disclose regarding how much carbon their products have generated, the chemicals used in their products, the origin of product materials and the well-being of the workers making their products. This may soon be required of the entire supply chain for products.

Everywhere we turn, we hear about climate change issues. You need to know about the changes that are coming and how they will affect your job as corporate counsel. This program will separate myths from realities and explain the practical implications of climate change on your company, including the effects of current and proposed legislation and regulation around the world on your operations and products, as well as new litigation risks.

Learn how to manage an electric power construction project as you provide legal advice and support to the project manager and other internal stakeholders.

This material covers environmental laws that affect multinational companies in the US and the EU, and uncover suggested approaches and best practices to ensure that your company is compliant on both sides of the Atlantic. Panelists provide best practices and case studies, including sample compliance programs.

Faculty will discuss the various methods for real property owners (or long term tenants) use to generate revenue from their real property with non-traditional uses. These uses may include installation of solar/wind or other energy collection devices, cell towers, satellite and data transmission equipment, ATM machines, etc. This program will also address particular problems that you need to anticipate when considering these uses of your real estate, including landlord/tenant issues, permit/code issues and health safety issues.

Energy practitioners will cover the top ten legal issues associated with lowering energy costs, including local, state and federal regulations, contract negotiations, tax advantages and funding opportunities for "going green." The program will educate in-house counsel on how to substantially reduce energy costs for assets, such as casinos, manufacturing plants, mining operations, retail stores, restaurants, commercial real estate operations (e.g., REITS) and hospital systems while understanding the legal, regulatory and policy issues associated with doing so.

With enforcement policy initiatives and definitive statements on compliance from the FERC having been issued in 2008, electric and gas companies have every incentive to devote the resources to having a robust compliance program in 2009. This session will show you how to translate FERC's guidance and policy statements into meaningful programs at your company. If you do find yourself in an enforcement action, it will teach you the basic rules of the game.

Companies, including those unrelated to electric industries, are involved in programs that involve the marketing, purchase and sale of renewable energy attributes or credits produced when “green” energy is generated. This program focused on the nature of these attributes, how these attributes intersect with carbon offsets, the legal issues encountered with such programs, and key terms of agreements used in transactions involving renewable energy attributes.
