Competitive supply options and renewable energy technologies and policies were also discussed. PUC Chairman Tom Getz, the lunchtime Keynote Speaker, spoke about the need for expanded efforts on conservation and energy efficiency in New Hampshire and called for a public/private partnership to move efforts forward on a statewide basis.

Sullivan & Cromwell LLP

“Lawyers Eye Broad Impact From IPO Case”
Sullivan & Cromwell partner Ted Rogers was quoted in an article entitled, "Lawyers Eye Broad Impact From IPO Case," in which he notes that a recent Second Circuit decision in a high-profile securities class action is "likely to have a significant impact on employment litigation as well" because the court rejected the notion that had been adopted in some employment class actions that the employer's evidence in opposition to class certification should not be considered if it touches on the merits of the claims.
