The impending change of federal agency control, combined with material developments in administrative law and shifts in plaintiffs’ litigation strategies, are likely to serve as a perfect storm upending the status quo in environmental enforcement. Join us as two environmental litigators and thought-leaders provide valuable and timely insights into these developments and how business defendants can positively manage risks posed by the private party enforcement of environmental laws in our new landscape.
