The coronavirus pandemic and subsequent economic disruption has had a broad impact across all industries, including energy marketers. The impact extends to a key management component for many fuel oil and propane retailers: transactional and succession planning. How can you plan for a future that is unpredictable? What effect will the financial crisis have on business transition to the next generation, to employees or to an outside party? How should you account for pressing environmental demands? How will you finance the transition? Are there alternatives that should be considered? During this special panel webinar the energy industry’s leading experts on fuel oil and propane company management provide advice and guidance on these issues. Gray, Gray & Gray’s Marty Kirshner and Joe Ciccarello, Federated Insurance’s Bob Butkus, and Robinson & Cole’s Earl Phillips, Brian Freeman, and Britt-Marie Cole-Johnson tackle these pressing concerns.
