The Southern California Branch is pleased to present:

How to Use (and Abuse) Environmental Lawyers to get Projects Done (and Make More Money Doing So)

John Van Vlear

PRESENTATION:

Seasoned environmental counsel John Van Vlear of Newmeyer & Dillion, LLP, Newport Beach, will outline the role of environmental counsel in deals, sites, and litigation and how enhanced knowledge of that function can help everyone involved get response actions done timelier and cost-effectively. Moreover, Van Vlear will use plentiful “war stories” to illustrate how consultants can make more money by letting environmental counsel quarterback projects and serve as the client-consultant interface. Finally, the session will explore current trends in vapor intrusion, Proposition 65, etc. that are impacting owners, developers, regulators, and consultants. Come be educated (and entertained)!

SPEAKER: 

John Van Vlear is a partner at Newmeyer & Dillion, LLP, Newport Beach, specializing in all aspects of “contaminated sites” environmental legal work. Applying technical acumen, he focuses on investigation, strategic analysis, and remediation for site acquisitions/sales, development, regulatory interface, and related litigation in federal and state courts.  Mr. Van Vlear represents clients before a wide range of environmental agencies. His portfolio of projects includes: commercial, industrial, raw land, and residential, as well as specialty facilities such as gas stations, oil fields, airports, and landfills. These matters have involved a complex array of soil, groundwater, and vapor contamination.  Mr. Van Vlear is a frequent speaker on environmental, real estate and contamination topics. He is a professional author and novelist, an expert witness, and arbitrator on environmental issues. He has been interviewed on TV twice professionally and has testified before the California Senate subcommittee on Environmental Quality.
