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 March session is described below.


Competition for state and local procurement dollars has never been more fierce. Although state and local contracting can offer a substantial boost to the bottom line, legal and regulatory requirements often are onerous. It is critical for contractors to familiarize themselves with these requirements and understand the associated compliance risks from proposal review through contract closeout. Further complicating matters is that each state’s procurement and regulatory rubric is unique. During this Breakfast Series briefing we will analyze certain common requirements spanning multiple jurisdictions, as well as procurement requirements in the Commonwealth of Virginia.


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


Registration begins at 8:00 am.

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.
