Although most legal attention in this area has focused on regulatory developments, a growing body of litigation promises to shape shale drilling and hydraulic fracturing in the coming years. This panel, comprised of counsel currently engaged in litigation on behalf of plaintiffs, defendants, and a regulatory body, examined recent and pending cases, including:
- Who’s bringing what cases and how they are being decided
- Claims and defenses asserted and chances of success
- Dealing with attempts to try cases in the media
- Likely future trends in litigation
- Impact of agency findings on litigation
