Karmel Presents on Environmental Regulation at PLI Conference

New York Partner Phil Karmel will chair and present at the Practising Law Institute’s upcoming all-day virtual conference, “Environmental Regulation in Practice 2020: Permitting, Litigating and Deal Negotiations.” The Sept. 25 program will feature a lineup of leading practitioners devoted to the most critical issues of environmental regulation in 2020, including conflicts between state initiatives and federal preemption laws, the challenges inherent in delivering renewable energy, new permitting requirements and case-law updates. 

Along with chairing the conference, Karmel will present on National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) reforms, the “secret science rule” and other Trump administration rulemaking initiatives.

Karmel’s practice at Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner includes matters arising under environmental review statutes (NEPA and SEQRA); Clean Air Act permitting, compliance and litigation; Superfund and oil spill litigation and counseling; pesticide-related personal injury and property damage litigation; zoning and other land use matters; government investigations; brownfields redevelopment; eminent domain litigation; and the environmental aspects of corporate and real estate transactions. He is a frequent speaker and author on environmental, land use, real estate and toxic tort matters.

Conference attendees will have access to all program materials, will be able to view program slides and submit questions to the speakers during the presentation.
