Norris McLaughlin & Marcus Presents Seminar on
Licensed Site Remediation Program
Bridgewater, NJ (March 16, 2010) – Norris McLaughlin & Marcus, P.A. will present a breakfast seminar, entitled Beware! The “Other” Side of the LSRP Program, on Thursday, March 25, 2010, from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., at its Bridgewater office.
“The new LSRP (Licensed Site Remediation Professional) program has caused environmental consulting firms to re-evaluate their risk exposure by revising their contracts with their clients and revisiting their professional liability insurance coverage. While those activities are necessary, they are far from sufficient to protect your company from unnecessary liability exposure,” explained Edward Hogan, Co-Chair of the firm’s Environmental Law Group.
The seminar will discuss the additional efforts environmental services companies should undertake to limit their liability. Presenters will include Hogan, John Vanarthos, Pat Collins, John Lushis, Charles Miller and David Harmon, Members of the firm. It is designed for environmental consultants and engineers and will cover the following topics: Balancing the Risks, Responsibilities and Obligations of the LSRP—Say What?; Keeping Key Employees—Employment Agreements and Noncompete Issues; Protect Your Assets—Limiting Personal Liability Via the Corporate Structure and Risk Management; The Secret to Ongoing Protection— Corporate Maintenance and Tune Up; Who Really Owns Your Business? — Corporate Succession Planning; and No Excuses! No Surprises! — Employee Handbook and Employment Policies. For more information or to register for this seminar, contact Cassie Howlett at *protected email* or 908-252-4172.
