Contamination claims involving streams, groundwater and public drinking water sources are rapidly reshaping environmental litigation in New Jersey. Register today for The Second Annual NJSBA Clean Water Symposium to tap into the latest strategies you need to know from some of the state's leading experts, so that you can confidently navigate even the most complex matters that come your way. As an attendee, you will learn the latest developments in clean water enforcement and permitting regulations, and how to apply them to get the best results in the matters you handle.

New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) Chief Advisor and Chief Enforcement Officer Kimberly Cahall will open the day with a keynote address detailing the state of clean water initiatives, so you can prepare your practice for future regulatory changes.

Beyond current enforcement priorities, our panel of environmental law leaders will detail how to prosecute water contamination liability claims.

You will come away with the strategies you need to address these evolving claims and expand your environmental law practice.

  • The current state of clean water initiatives and enforcement priorities from the NJDEP.
