PRP Contribution Claims Under CERCLA: Strategies for Cost Recovery Against Potentially Responsible Parties

This CLE course will guide counsel advising parties involved in contaminated site cleanups on protecting the contribution interests of potentially responsible parties (PRPs) in seeking cost recovery against other PRPs.

Recent decisions on when PRPs can sue to recover remediation costs under CERCLA Sections 107 and 113 have made the law in this area increasingly complex. Questions regarding the trigger for a claim and the applicable statute of limitations remain unresolved.

Counsel must understand how, when, and where PRPs can seek remediation costs to guard their clients' ability to explore contributions from other PRPs. For cooperating and settling PRPs, recent decisions may change deciding whether and when to cooperate and settle.

Listen as our authoritative panel of environmental attorneys examines PRP cost recovery from other PRPs under CERCLA Sections 107 and 113 and recent developments. The panel will offer best practices for representing PRPs, including those seeking recovery of cleanup costs, whether incurred directly or through contribution, and those trying to limit their liability in such actions.
