During the 33rd Annual Texas Environmental Superconference, Jackson Walker attorney Kate Goodrich joined Elizabeth Fazio Hale of Gulf Coast Authority for a legislative update on recent legislation related to the electric market, energy, and environmental laws.
Presented by the Environmental & Natural Resources Law Section of the State Bar of Texas, the Superconference featured discussions on air quality, emerging contaminants, the Council on Environmental Quality and the National Environmental Policy Act, environmental justice, and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) ethics.
Jackson Walker proudly served as a sponsor for the event, and Austin partners Michael J. Nasi and Benjamin R. Rhem served on the 2021 planning committee.
