Event | 06.15.17, 10:00 AM EDT - 10:50 AM EDT
Address
Convene (Grand Central Location)
101 Park Avenue (at 41st Street)
Crowell & Moring New York attorneys Ed Baum, Alan Howard, Paul Pollock, and Ilana Lubin join Robert K. Smits, Executive Vice President and General Counsel, Global Brands Group, in presenting The Art of Contracting, a panel discussion taking place during the Association of Corporate Counsel’s (ACC) New York City Chapter Full-Day CLE conference, In-House Toolkit: The Nuts and Bolts.
Session description:
Contract negotiation skills and contract dispute experience are two great things that work even better together. Some common contract provisions frequently generate litigation, either because they are unclear as drafted or because they operate in an unexpected and undesirable way.
This further installment of our workshop series will continue our exploration of how integrating your corporate and litigation strategies to structure contracts can produce more durable agreements that are less likely to trigger disputes. We provide highly practical and actionable insights for lawyers whose job it is to get their companies’ contracts just right. Attendance at our prior workshops is not required; this session will focus on additional topics that can vex unwary corporate lawyers and their litigation colleagues.

Has the Buss Stopped? Recoupment Today
Has the Buss Stopped? Recoupment Today: In 1997, the California Supreme Court decided Buss v. Superior Court. In Buss, the court concluded that a liability insurer that defended a mixed action could seek reimbursement from the insured for the defense costs associated with the claims that were not even potentially covered. Since then, numerous courts have held that insurers are entitled to recoup their defense costs associated with uncovered claims or causes of action. On the other hand, a significant number of courts have rejected insurers’ right to recoupment, at least in the absence of a policy provision granting the insurer that right. Some commentators have even suggested that the current judicial trend might be away from permitting insurers to recoup their defense costs. Is that correct? Has the Buss stopped? This panel of coverage experts will analyze insurers’ claimed right to recoupment today, and offer their perspectives on what the law on recoupment should perhaps be and might be in the future.
