Partner John Van Vlear will outline the role of environmental counsel in deals, sites, and litigation and how enhanced knowledge of that function can help everyone involved get response actions done timelier and cost-effectively. Moreover, Van Vlear will use plentiful "war stories" to illustrate how consultants can make more money by letting environmental counsel quarterback projects and serve as the client-consultant interface. Finally, the session will explore current trends in vapor intrusion, Proposition 65, etc. that are impacting owners, developers, regulators, and consultants. Come be educated (and entertained)!
