Event | 12.08.08 - 12.09.08, 12:00 AM UTC - 12:00 AM UTC
How will the crisis in the capital markets and the government bailout of banks and insurers affect the insurance industry? Is the advent of nanotechnology a revolutionary opportunity for manufacturers or is it the "next asbestos?" Will the opening of new markets around the world impact disputes in the U.S.? Hear from top executives and lawyers on these, and other new developments facing insurers and reinsurers, at the Insurance Industry’s Top 10 Risks & Opportunities Conference in Philadelphia on December 8-9, being co-chaired by Crowell & Moring's Jennifer Devery and produced by Mealey Conferences, now BVR Legal.
Dozens of industry experts, including Crowell & Moring partners Jon Pittman and Andy Marks, will address the risks and opportunities posed by nanotechnology, climate change, the capital markets crisis, lost enterprise value, mergers & acquisitions, and the opening of new markets around the world. Representatives from some of the largest insurance and reinsurance companies will offer candid insight into the many issues that they, as business people, face on a day-to-day basis, including emerging risks, commutations, their right to associate counsel in insurance and reinsurance disputes, and more. To close, state regulators and representatives from industry trade groups will share their views on the regulatory and legislative developments that likely will impact the insurance industry in the coming year.

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.
