EEC Environmental staff attended the 25th annual American Bar Association (ABA) Section of Environment, Energy, and Resources Fall Conference in Baltimore, Maryland on October 18-21, 2017.
The ABA Fall Conference gathers professionals who focus on environmental, energy, and natural resource for a premier forum for dialogue and deliberation of current and emerging issues. The four-day conference offered cutting-edge CLE programming, opportunities for networking, plenary sessions, and breakout sessions for the discussion of emerging topics such as the legal landscape of public land management, and the practical insights on food law that impacts environmental law.
Other topics included the status of the Chevron and Auer doctrines and their potential replacements; recent decisions and upcoming cases—how actions by the U.S. Supreme Court might impact your practice, and how cities are effectively implementing resilient and sustainable initiatives.
EEC Environmental (EEC) provides a broad spectrum of litigation support ranging from scientific investigations to expert testimony in state and federal courts. We support litigation matters related to contamination of soil, soil vapor, and groundwater; geologic and hydrogeological issues; and industrial wastewater. Our staff has experience with plaintiff and defense representation, giving us a professional knowledge of tactics and strategies that will be encountered in litigation, and allowing us to present an unbiased perspective to judge and jury. EEC has been involved with numerous high-profile litigation cases and has consistently worked seamlessly as part of a team in preparing technical portions of a case.
Our services are most often utilized to prevent litigation from occurring in the first place, by preventing or reducing liability exposure, fines, administrative penalties, and negative press.
