Challenges and Solutions for Teaming and Joint Ventures

Event | 06.06.06, 12:00 AM UTC - 12:00 AM UTC

Teaming agreements and joint ventures provide companies the opportunity to be more competitive by combining their complementary capabilities and resources. They are very common today; in fact, competition in the federal government marketplace is often based on the strengths and weaknesses of one team/joint venture versus another.

Teaming agreements and joint ventures present their own unique challenges. This seminar will identify and address these challenges and potential pitfalls, and also help companies navigate and leverage these strategic alliances in order to rely on them more effectively to win government contracts.

Attend this seminar to hear expert panel discussions on:

  • Key advantages and disadvantages of teaming and joint ventures
  • Navigating organizational conflicts of interest in joint ventures
  • Structuring a joint venture for success and tips on how to avoid problem areas
  • Past performance strategic considerations in joint ventures and teaming
  • Special rules for teaming and joint ventures with small businesses and 8(a)s
  • How to effectively structure agreements, including work sharing, enforceability, recoverability of B&P costs, and exclusivity/anti-competitive teaming
  • Effects of teaming in mergers and acquisitions

George Ruttinger, Amy Laderberg, Jim Regan and Mitch Rabinowitz will be participating in this half-day seminar, which Crowell & Moring co-sponsored.

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.
