Welcome to the home page for the 32nd Annual AGA Legal Forum.

The AGA Legal Forum is an intensive two-day seminar that gives participants the opportunity for in-depth discussion of gas industry issues with other member company general counsel and senior attorneys.  The Thirty-First Annual Legal Forum will focus on the impact of the changes taking place in the industry and the new legal challenges facing you and your clients.  

The Forum will feature presentations and panel discussions on topics of vital interest to natural gas industry attorneys.  As you know, the Forum also provides a unique opportunity for informal discussions with other gas industry general counsel and attorneys.

The following topics are scheduled for discussion at this year’s Legal Forum:

  • FERC Compliance Issues:  A panel presentation providing insight into FERC’s current enforcement activities and compliance issues

The Forum will be held July 19-21, 2009 at the InterContinental Boston, which is approximately ten minutes from Boston Logan International Airport.   Located on Boston's historic and newly redefined Waterfront, InterContinental Boston is surrounded by Boston Harbor on one side and the new Rose Kennedy Greenway on the other. Its prime location places it just steps away from renowned Boston attractions, including Faneuil Hall, Quincy Market, the North End, Chinatown, Beacon Hill and a plethora of historical attractions such as the Boston Tea Party Ship Site and Freedom Trail.
