Register

Crowell & Moring is pleased to announce the launch of our Government Contracts Breakfast Series. All of the sessions will be held in Northern Virginia and focus on issues most important to government contractors. Our first session is described below.


Contractors are subject to a number of distinct but overlapping regulatory regimes applicable to data that the contractor may receive from government customers, prime contractors, or generate in the performance of a government contract. These regimes include the cybersecurity rules and standards under the FAR and DFARS safeguarding clauses, export control requirements under the EAR and ITAR, requirements under the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM), and other agency or contract-specific requirements. Attorneys in C&M’s privacy and cybersecurity, international trade, and government contracts practices will go over the basic rules and requirements, discuss the interplay between these different regimes, and provide practical pointers on implementing and updating data security compliance programs that meet the requirements and are aligned with best practices.


We will provide a CLE certificate of attendance and other materials to use in seeking continuing education credits.


Registration begins at 8:00 am.


For questions about this breakfast, please contact Denise Giardina.

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.
