Gas, electric and auto incidents, though often caused by third parties or improperly trained contractors, pose significant financial and reputational risks for utilities. These events, which may involve fatalities, serious injuries and extensive property damage, require thorough and prompt management due to the complex legal and technical issues that arise and the involvement of multiple stakeholders.

Our panel of speakers will discuss their own experiences handling such crises, including how they sought to minimize risks and maximize results in the ensuing litigation.
