The American Conference Institute's Forum on Oil & Gas Litigation and Arbitration is the premier forum for oil and gas counsel defending against disputed agreements and managing domestic and international arbitrations. ACI has developed this conference as an "essential defense forum" that will educate both in-house and outside counsel on such topics as:
- Preparing for litigation arising out of unconventional gas drilling operations in shale plays;
- Mitigating liability in costly and unpredictable environmental claims;
- Complex litigation challenges and strategies;
- Resolving ethical problems in complex oil and gas litigation matters;
- The judicial perspectie on trying oil and gas cases from pretrial issues, pleadings, and motion practice to the trial phase and settlement; and
- Overcoming industry bias through jury selection techniques.
Holland & Hart attorney John Shepherd will be contributing to a panel entitled "Litigating Royalty Disputes: Crafting Defense Strategies for Cases with Unsettled and Conflicting Laws".
