Severe Weather & Natural Disasters
As the frequency and ferocity of extreme weather events and natural disasters increase, companies are facing a range of legal and regulatory issues stemming from the fallout. Severe weather events and natural disasters—and the disruption and infrastructure damage that often follow—can lead to challenges related to insurance recovery disputes, government and regulatory investigations, consumer class actions, wrongful death and personal injury lawsuits, mass tort cases, securities litigation, and more. Implications to employee policies, tax considerations, cybersecurity issues, and bankruptcy and restructuring considerations also may arise.
Our global team of lawyers has in-depth knowledge and skill in handling the full spectrum of issues involving crisis management, insurance claims, energy-related concerns, environmental counseling, and workforce matters, among others.
