NO CLE - Addressing Environmental Claims and Liabilities in Chapter 11: Administrative Expenses, Third-Party Liability, Abandonment and Brownfield Development

This panel will discuss what happens when an estate is administratively insolvent, when principals/owners can be liable, reclamation claims and permit-blocking issues, when you can abandon, why secured creditors won’t foreclose, nonprofits’/foundations’ role in clean-ups, and brownfield development. The panelists will then focus on the impact of the Trump administration on these issues, as well as various regulators’ roles (such as the EPA and state regulators).
