Managing Discovery in the Digital Age

Event | 09.27.06, 12:00 AM UTC - 12:00 AM UTC

C2C forums are not panel discussions. Nor do they feature a sole presenter. C2C forums are interactive workshops at which an exclusive group of legal professionals share their issues, challenges, solutions and expertise on a select topic. The discussions are guided by two corporate counsel co-chairs and a professional facilitator, and include no more than 18 senior corporate counsel and 6 law firm partners. This unique approach fosters the exchange of insights from all parties engaged in the delivery of legal services. Very few initiatives offer participants the opportunity to roll up their sleeves and share business experiences and professional insights in a candid "off-the-record" workshop type session. To enhance the learning experience, participants are encouraged to bring a best practice related to the topic and be prepared to discuss it. We will provide you with preparatory materials to help you develop your best practice.

Crowell & Moring is a sponsor of this Counsel to Counsel event, which brings together senior legal professionals to facilitate the exchange of ideas and best practices regarding the management of corporate legal departments. Jeane Thomas will be participating in the discussion. David Cross will also be speaking at this event.

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.
