Event | 10.30.13, 12:00 AM UTC - 12:00 AM UTC

An essential guide for the diplomatic community and foreign companies seeking to win U.S. federal contracts.

The U.S. government is the world's largest customer, buying more than $3 trillion a year in goods and services, which includes more than $500 billion in contracts with foreign companies. Our three-hour forum provides a practical overview and expert advice on how foreign companies can break into the lucrative federal marketplace.

This event is geared toward foreign embassies, trade missions, commercial attaches, and executives of foreign companies that want to navigate a path to winning federal contracts. Interested parties may also sign up for a free proprietary session immediately after the forum to address topics of specific interest.

No registrations will be accepted on the day of the event, so we encourage you to register by October 25.

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.
