This webinar brings together scientific, legal, and business perspectives on where fracking litigation stands today and where it may be headed. It will look at the strength of scientific claims and defenses, as well as emerging issues for companies to consider, whether contemplating investments in shale gas, assessing how best to reduce or mitigate risk, or defending against filed claims. The webinar discussion will focus on whether there is a material risk to water supplies, explore whether there is a material risk from airborne exposures to dust or released gases; discuss what science says about silica exposure from proppants used for fracking; analyze which litigation issues to watch; and examine confidentiality agreements and fracking settlements, FracFocus and chemical disclosures, and the evolving regulatory landscape.
