ACI - Advanced Forum on Government Contract Cost & Pricing

Event | 04.27.10 - 04.28.10, 12:00 AM UTC - 12:00 AM UTC

With increased government oversight, rigorous DCAA audits, mandatory disclosure rules, troubling cases on disallowed costs and the resurgence of TINA enforcement concerns, the stakes have never been higher for U.S. Government contractors. Coupled with the Obama administration’s tightened defense and other spending, organizations cannot afford critical cost and pricing missteps.

With the heightened risks of staggering liability under the False Claims Act, and the growing threats of suspension, debarment and more, you cannot afford to miss American Conference Institute’s Advanced Forum on “Government Contract Cost & Pricing”. Unlike other training events, this advanced forum – developed through research with U.S. Government contractors – will feature an impressive faculty of government officials, leading contractors and private practice experts, who will address the most critical cost and pricing issues that can make or break your business. You will gain the latest updates and practical insights on how to stay out of trouble – and refine your cost and pricing strategy.

Terry Albertson is co-chair of this event. He is also one of the speakers. His topic is "Determining the Allowability of Legal Fees, IR & D, Termination and M & A Costs."

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.
