Family Office & Private Equity Dealmakers Breakfast Series: Limited Partners & the Fundraising Environment

Event | 06.01.17, 4:30 AM EDT - 6:00 AM EDT

Address

Crowell & Moring
590 Madison Avenue, 22nd Floor, New York, NY

Fundraising for alternative investments—and private equity funds, in particular—constitutes a unique market environment. Limited partnerships (LPs) are committing larger sums to fewer funds, while smaller and newer funds are finding it more difficult to raise capital. The percentage of funds raised in the $250 million to $1 billion range has fallen to about 26% of overall fundraising, down from 35% in 2010. In many cases, the relatively few funds that do get capitalized are industry-specific and have carved out niches for themselves in sectors or markets less exposed to record valuations. In addition, LPs are increasingly looking for direct investments and co-investment opportunities. Join the conversation as Richard B. Holbrook, Jr. (DC partner) moderates a panel featuring Chrystalle Anstett, Managing Director, Eaton Partners, LLC; Susanne Forsingdal, Managing Director, Allianz Capital Partners; Katherine Hill Ritchie, Founder, Private Capital Investments, LLC.; and Michelle Jacobi, Principal, VCP Advisors LLC.


The Family Office & Private Equity Dealmakers Breakfast Series programs are invitation only and focused on senior‐level professionals from family office groups, private equity funds, and other institutional investors.

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.
