OBA Environmental Law PROGRAM | 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM

Whether you’re an established environmental law practitioner looking to take your practice to the next level, or just starting out in this field, experienced practitioners will guide you through real-world scenarios and share strategies for success in the practice of environmental law through a series of small-group roundtable discussions. With a focus on mentorship and professional growth, you’ll have the opportunity to ask questions, exchange ideas, and learn directly from experts and peers alike.

We’ll explore: 

• Effective strategies for navigating the civil litigation process for environmental law disputes. 
• Best practices for working with environmental consultants and leveraging their expertise. 
• Managing complex regulatory approval processes, compliance, and stakeholder and rightsholder engagement. 
• Practical approaches to responding effectively to inspections and enforcement actions by regulators. 
• Business development strategies for environmental law matters. 

Register now and enhance your practice, gain valuable insights, and build lasting professional connections in the environmental law bar.

Please note: Those attending in-person will gather in small groups with fellow in-person attendees. Online attendees will participate by Zoom with fellow online attendees. Faculty members will rotate between both in-person and online groups.
