In an era where many consumers are environmentally conscious, many companies are promoting their efforts to conduct business in a more environmentally friendly and sustainable manner. But when companies speak, plaintiffs’ lawyers, regulators, and special interest groups listen. More than ever, companies find themselves defending their environmental marketing statements in court, and these cases come with significant exposure and substantial litigation costs. This discussion will provide an update on the current trends in greenwashing litigation and practical guidance on how companies can take steps to mitigate the associated risks.

 

Former federal prosecutors Lou Manzo (Former Trial Attorney, U.S. Department of Justice) and Alyse Adamson (Assistant U.S. Attorney, United States Attorneys’ Offices) will share actionable insights and firsthand experiences to prepare corporate counsel for environmental and other kinds of internal investigations, responding to subpoenas, and dealing with criminal or potential criminal enforcement actions. Lou and Alyse will examine strategies to proactively address sensitive enforcement actions before they escalate, and communicate effectively with prosecutors if necessary. Leslie Garthwaite (Director, Corporate Investigations at Exelon) will moderate this panel discussion.
