This webcast, featuring B&D attorneys John Cruden, Brook Detterman, Allyn Stern, and Meghan Morgan, will feature a high-level overview of the environmental priorities of the Biden-Harris administration.

Keying in on what has happened in the first 90 days and what is on the horizon, this panel will discuss what areas legal departments should be most concerned with, as well as what legislation/regulations to expect in the near future.  Our panel will provide personal insights on some of the cabinet appointees and other leaders, e.g., B&D alumna Brenda Mallory, who was just confirmed to lead the White House's Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) as its 12th Chairperson, and how those individuals will be poised to help carry out the Biden agenda.

For a preview of potential action items for companies, B&D has compiled an outline organized by subject-specific practice areas in this article.
 
Please plan to register today, and invite your in-house counsel colleagues, EH&S professionals, and business leaders at your companies.

RSVP below.  Logon address will be provided 24 hours in advance of the webinar.

Environmental concerns, social performance and corporate governance (ESG) issues are in the forefront of corporate thinking, presenting both opportunity and risk for companies. A broad group of stakeholders, as well as shareholders, are now effectively influencing corporate behavior in these areas, accelerating a focus on ESG matters. US Federal and State regulators are engaged with these issues, and compliance and reporting requirements are expanding. For businesses operating outside of the US or with global supply chains, existing and new local laws and regulations are also demanding attention from in-house counsel. Please join us for this important topic as we explore how in-house counsel can play a leading role in addressing ESG with their companies and boards.

On March 4, 2021, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced the creation of a Climate and ESG Task Force in the Division of Enforcement. According to the SEC, the Task Force will develop initiatives to proactively identify ESG-related misconduct in the form of gaps or misstatements of issuer disclosure by means of the Division’s resources, including the collection of tips and whistleblower complaints and the use of data mining and analysis. The Division of Enforcement’s new Climate and ESG Task Force will use data analysis to mine and evaluate registrant information for possible violations.

An In-house Counsel’s Guide to Understanding and Navigating Recent Federal Clean Air Act developments.

Due to regulatory and litigation activity associated with the U.S. Clean Air Act (CAA) during the last 12 months, as well as recent policy pronouncements made by the Biden administration, significant uncertainty exists in complying with this important federal law. As in-house counsel, understanding how to navigate this period of uncertainty is crucial.

In this session, we’ll offer practical legal advice to help you achieve compliance moving forward by exploring the following topics

  • Last minute rules and policies issued under the Trump administration
  • Attempts by the Biden administration to reverse last minute Trump policies
  • Court cases that overturned earlier Trump administration CAA rules
  • The potential impacts of the U.S. Supreme Court on future challenges
  • The role of the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) in the implementation of these recent CAA developments

Registration for the 2021 In-House Counsel Conference is now open. For information about--and to register for--each session, click on the links below.
