Podcasts about bp deepwater horizon oil spill

Welcome to episode 259 of the Grow Your Law Firm podcast, hosted by Ken Hardison. In this episode, Ken sits down with David Vicknair, a partner at Scott Vicknair, LLC David Vicknair specializes in personal injury, maritime injury, property damage, and casualty loss litigation, representing individuals and small businesses with dedication and tenacity. Early in his career, a pivotal case shaped his meticulous approach to preparation and his understanding of Louisiana litigation. He has argued appeals in Louisiana courts and the Federal Fifth Circuit and served as class counsel in major cases like the BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill. An advocate for community service, David serves on the Board of Volunteers of America. He holds a J.D. from Loyola University New Orleans, earning honors in moot court competitions.    What you'll learn about in this episode:   1.  Why Working On Yourself Accelerates Firm Growth  Emotionally letting go of cases allows focus on growth-driving priorities and firm leadership. Accepting others can excel at law enables effective delegation and firm expansion. 2. Why Creating a Clear Vision Is Critical to Your Law Firms Success By devloping a 1, 3, 5-year plan it helps to align your goals and guides growth.  When setting up your vision it's important to surround yourself with "A" players to ensure high standards and strong results. 3. How Making Timely Decisions Excelerates Your Firms Progress Sitting on decisions and delaying execution hurts your law firm. Taking risks and acting promptly is essential, whether the outcome is right or wrong.  David mentions this impactful quote to drive home this idea, "The right decision three months late is still the wrong decision."  4. How Investing in Strategic Marketing Creates Long Term Revenue  Having a hook to stand out from the competition is essential in a crowded market. David embraced this concept by creating a commercial that showcased his authenticity and humor, centered on the confusion around his law firm's name.  5. Why Lawyers Need To Focus on Internal Growth Instead of External Distractions  Focusing on your own firm ensures attention to areas you can improve and control. Ignoring competitors prevents distractions and enables a stronger, more sustainable growth strategy.  Resources:  http://www.scottvicknair.com/ https://www.facebook.com/scottvicknairlaw/ https://x.com/scottvicklaw?lang=enhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/david-vicknair-b7454321/   Additional Resources:  https://www.pilmma.org/aiworkshop https://www.pilmma.org/the-mastermind-effect https://www.pilmma.org/resources https://www.pilmma.org/mastermind

Introducing a new four-part series, Waves of Change, in collaboration with Oceana. Over the next four weeks, we'll explore the climate, economic, and environmental justice impacts of offshore drilling and plastics. 12 years after the BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill, fossil fuel companies are drilling deeper than ever before off of America's coasts. Lawmakers seem to have learned little from the oil rig explosion that killed 11 people and spilled more than 200 million gallons of oil into the Gulf over 87 days. However, today's guests are pushing regulators and businesses to do more to prevent the next offshore oil disaster. Cynthia Sarthou is the Executive Director of Healthy Gulf, which is focused on protecting the Gulf and everyone and everything that calls the Gulf home. Diane Hoskins is Oceana's Campaign Director focused on stopping offshore drilling. Vipe Desai is serial entrepreneur dedicated to protecting the ocean and coastal communities by sitting on the boards of organizations like Lonely Whale and AltaSea.

When, in addition to damage, injury and even death, a catastrophe ravages a regional economy, should that be taken into account when valuing the business loss claims brought by a policyholder?  The UK Supreme Court recently came down on the issue in a test case based on a batch of different company policies giving some hope to policyholders. What impact will it have on COVID business interruption claims in the U.S.? How will it impact the valuation of claims for other catastrophic events like hurricanes, wildfires, and earthquakes?To discuss these issues, it was my pleasure to interview attorney Peter A. Halprin, a partner in the New York office of Pasich LLP and Christopher Mortifoglio of Procor Solutions, also in New York. Peter represents commercial policyholders in complex coverage matters ranging from data security events to natural disasters to COVID. Chris is both a certified public accountant and forensic examiner, with experience valuing claims in the wake of hurricanes Sandy and Alex, and the BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill.  This podcast is the audio companion to the Journal on Emerging Issues in Litigation, a collaborative project between HB and the Fastcase legal research family, which includes Full Court Press, Law Street Media, Docket Alarm and, most recently, Judicata. If you have comments or wish to participate in one our projects, or want to tell me how insightful and informative Peter and Chris are, please drop me a note at Editor@LitigationConferences.com.I hope you enjoy the interview, and how I suggested that Peter may be old enough to tell us about his experience with losses incurred by merchants sailing wooden ships during the vibrant spice trade of the 1400s. Episode is LivePublished: Feb. 23, 2021 @ 5AM EditUnpublishAdd a TranscriptGet episode better indexed by search engines.Add Chapter MarkersListeners can tap through & see what's coming up.Create a Visual SoundbiteBest way to share to social media for engagement.Share Episode OnFacebookTwitterLinkedInMore OptionsEmail Link to Episode CopyDirect Link to MP3 Copy

Ten years ago, a very different crisis was gripping the country as 500 million gallons of oil gushed into the Gulf of Mexico, taking lives and threatening fishing, tourism and more. The nation's worst oil disaster cost BP an estimated $145 billion in cleanup costs and penalties. Now the industry is experiencing another crisis within a pandemic, as oil prices collapsed to historic lows in April and are expected to remain volatile. What's next in the industry's uncertain future? How will the collapse of oil prices impact gradual efforts to shift away from fossil fuels? Join us for a conversation on the past, present and future of oil with Bill Reilly, former EPA administrator and co-chair of the National Commission on the BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill, Heather Richards, energy reporter at E&E News, and John Hofmeister, former president of Shell Oil Company.

10th Anniversary of the BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill with special guest Casi Callaway from Mobile Baykeeper (Economic and Environmental Impacts), The McSharry Assault Case kick-around, Medical Cannabis in Alabama (announcement today of the Alabama Cannabis Trade Association), Prince Madock a Welsh explorer who landed at Ft.

The locals butchering his name by the time Desoto got here- and by that time Maddock was Mad-Dog (and hence the cartographers choice of Dog River). And a little Sars-Cov-2 to round out the discussion. And Capt. Raines says oil futures are in the "eau de toilette".

The recent passing of President George H.W. Bush has spurred an interest in his energy and environmental policy and its legacy. In the latest Columbia Energy Exchange podcast, host Jason Bordoff sat down with William Reilly, who was the EPA Administrator during President George H.W. Bush’s Administration.   Bill recounts the significance of the environment in Bush’s presidential campaign, which led to landmark environmental policies, and discusses the challenges, opportunities, and significance of the Clean Air Act of 1990.
