I can't think of a business that operates in a vacuum, particularly those with environmental or climate impacts. In those worlds, we operate in two regulatory worlds: the compliance and voluntary side. So things a company does because it has to and things it does because it wants to and believe it should do. In the compliance world, the "government" of some kind sets out laws that it expects people to play by. Those laws are then enforced by regulatory agencies of one form or another in accordance with rules. In translating the laws into rules there is a process that is subject to court oversight. Big news in that world is the U.S. Supreme Court's adjustment to that interaction. My Dentons colleagues Clinton Vince, Linda Willard, Sam Olens and Simon Steel in this panel are focussed on: Supreme Court Overturns Chevron Doctrine: Implications for Energy and Climate Policy and Beyond. This significant discussion will have an impact in many other jurisdictions around the world.
The recent Supreme Court rulings have indicated the Court's intention to limit the authority and discretion that federal agencies have enjoyed over the last several decades. These rulings will assert the power of the federal judiciary, leading to significant ramifications for the regulation of energy, climate policy and more. Don’t miss this discussion with a distinguished panel of industry leaders including The Environmental Council of the States Executive Director Ben Grumbles; Dentons partners Sam Olens and Simon Steel; and Gee Strategies Group President Robert Gee. Dentons Energy counsel Linda Willard will provide opening remarks and Dentons Energy partner Clint Vince will moderate the discussion. Learn more and register: https://ow.ly/HZhN50SvU5L
