Is your Company at Risk of Being Swept Under by a Tidal Wave of Greenwashing Lawsuits?
As Climate Change litigation continues to evolve, “Greenwashing” claims have accelerated in the volume in just the past few months. Public disclosures, including advertisements, frequently include exaggerated environmental credentials and are often the first targets of Greenwashing lawsuits and regulatory inquiry. As companies race to burnish their ESG credentials, they must resist the siren call to overstate or misrepresent their ESG scorecard.

Aftermath of the McGirt Decision – What You Need to Know
In July 2020, the United States Supreme Court decided that an Indian reservation in Oklahoma was not disestablished at the time of statehood.

In this presentation, GableGotwals’s Trent Shores, a former United States Attorney, and Dean Luthey, chair of the Firm’s Native American Law section and a senior trial lawyer, will discuss the impact of the Supreme Court’s McGirt decision on criminal and civil jurisdiction in Eastern Oklahoma.

Jones Act Compliance Amidst Developing Offshore Technologies and Transportation Support for Alternative-Energy Initiatives
As the search for alternative and cleaner-energy sources continues, new technologies abound in the arenas of energy production and advancements in the modes of transportation used to support novel forms of energy capture. With the development of offshore wind farms and other near-coastal energy installations, as well as larger and more complex exploration facilities in deeper waters, comes the ever-increasing complexities of servicing the energy-manufacturing market in compliance with existing and aging laws. The Jones Act provides a framework of regulations to govern the coastwise trade of the United States. This presentation will focus on the current relevance of the Act and examine the ways in which its verbiage and proper interpretation may just permit options for offshore-operational harmony between both domestic and foreign flag vessels as they work together to support an industry striving to achieve energy alternatives.

This session will include a discussion of the most significant green energy tax credits, the most common tax equity financing structures, and the potential impact of proposed legislation.

Human Rights Claims and Counterclaims in International Energy Arbitration
Recent high profile energy arbitrations raise the specter of significant human rights counterclaims in investment arbitrations. Such claims, however, need not be limited to investment arbitration. Claims or counterclaims sounding in human rights violations could conceivably be raised in commercial arbitration proceedings, particularly if the human rights claims are raised in the context of allegations of violation of environmental obligations of project sponsors. Similarly, energy companies may well rely upon human rights jurisprudence to make claims concerning alleged egregious governmental misconduct. This panel will address the opportunities and challenges of such claims and counterclaims and how these claims overlap with ongoing ESG efforts on the transactional side.
Moderator: Prof. Frédéric Gilles Sourgens, Senator Robert J. Dole Distinguished Professor of Law, Washburn University School of Law, Topeka, Kansas
