Program Number
Program Date
CLE Credits
Several years after the landmark decision in Burlington Northern & Santa Fe Railway Co. v. United States, 556 U.S. 599 (2009), federal courts continue to struggle to clarify the circumstances in which a person is liable as an “arranger under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) for arranging for the disposal of hazardous substances. Over the past few years, multiple federal decisions have resulted in case law which both clarifies and confuses what it means to be an arranger. This CLE will discuss recent precedent-setting cases and their potential ramifications on the interpretation of arranger liability. In addition to updating counsel on the latest developments in CERCLA arranger liability, we will explore the implications of the shifting scope of arranger liability on clients across multiple industries and possible strategies for mitigating risk of liability.
