Crowell & Moring Senior Counsel Kristy Wrigley-Durer, a member of the firm's Tax and Health Care Groups, will be speaking at the AHLA Health Care Transactions Conference, taking place April 15-17, 2024 in Nashville, TN. Her presentation, "Don't be a Deal Killer!  Best Practices for Employee Benefits and Executive Compensation in Mergers & Acquisitions," will take place at 1:30 p.m. CT. 

This panel will be partially lecture-style and partially informal discussion with on-the-ground perspectives shared. Panelists include two veteran ERISA attorneys: One who is currently practicing with a large law firm in Washington, D.C. with 10 years’ in-house experience at a large health system, and a high-ranking in-house attorney with one of the nation’s largest private health care systems

A focus on the mechanics for analyzing employee benefits and executive compensation matters in a deal, from due diligence to reps, warranties, covenants and the purchase agreement. The content will also outline the potential exposure to a buyer if benefits issues are not timely identified or addressed in a transaction, including situations where benefits can become "deal killers”

On-the-ground experiences and best practices learned from handling large transactions with complex benefits and compensation issues, including coordinating with in-house and outside counsel, HR professionals and deal teams, as well as benefits transition and integration issues after closing

The health law industry continues to evolve, and as such, industry professionals must stay up to date on the legal and business issues to consider when structuring deals and transactions for their clients and institutions. In-house and outside counsel, compliance professionals, consultants, and private equity professionals and venture capitalists will gain key insights regarding business and legal issues in mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures, and other health care transactions.  

Attendees of this program will develop knowledge surrounding current developments, strategies, and deal forecasts and learn critical business considerations that must be addressed before, during, and after a transaction.

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.
