Press Release Body = TEXAS (March 23, 2007) - Thompson & Knight LLP Environmental
Law Partner Scott D. Deatherage is conducting an online continuing legal education
Web seminar - or "Webinar" - for in-house attorneys and outside counsel representing
companies that face environmental disclosure requirements. "Environmental Disclosure
Issues Related to Recent SEC Enforcement Activity and FAS 143/FIN 47" will take
place at noon EST on April 5, 2007.

"Companies are facing many new environmental disclosure issues in
today's regulatory environment," says Mr. Deatherage. "New accounting
standards and the Securities and Exchange Commission's enforcements can
be hard to navigate, and I hope to help attendees get a better grasp on
how to effectively deal with environmental reporting issues."


Mr. Deatherage focuses his practice on permitting, compliance,
administrative law, and judicial litigation in air emissions, wastewater
discharges, hazardous waste, hazardous substances, and toxic substances.
He represents clients before local, state, and federal environmental
agencies and state and federal courts. Mr. Deatherage is experienced in
drafting environmental disclosure statements for Securities and Exchange
Commission documents and assessing the impact of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act
on such disclosures. He authors the blog \"Law and the Environment,\"
where he publishes articles, commentary, and analysis of the ever
evolving legal, policy, and practical developments in environmental law
and environmental management, environmental corporate governance, and
environmental financial disclosure. His blog also discusses how affected
corporations as well as their management and directors are evolving to
survive and prosper in this dynamic regulatory environment.

The webinar is sponsored by Andrews Publications, a Thomson West
business, and is anticipating CLE approval from all states that accept
telephone presentations for CLE credit. For more information on this
event, please contact Becky LaCroix at 800.328.9352, ext. 85968 or
