Cyber attacks have increasingly targeted major corporations, stealing vital technology and intellectual property, compromising M&A deals and negotiations, and damaging stock prices and marketplace competitive advantages.  After such breaches, corporate boards and officers must manage the cyber crisis -- regulatory enforcement actions, potential shareholder suits, customer and business partner disputes, and more.

This interactive workshop brings together top corporations and experts to tackle one of the most challenging and rapidly escalating threats.  At this workshop, we will address real-world examples of cyber attacks and security breaches, practical experience with managing the cyber crisis, and essential best practices for mitigating and avoiding material cyber risks.

Keynote speaker: Richard Clarke (former Special Advisor to the President for Cyber Security and National Coordinator for Security and Counterterrorism; Chairman & CEO, Good Harbor)

Panelists to include representatives from the government, industry and Crowell & Moring.

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.
