The National Retail Federation (NRF) will celebrate its 100 years of retail leadership this January 2011 at what has become known as “Retail’s BIG Show.” The event attracts more than 10,000 retailers from around the globe and will take place this year at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York City from January 9-12th.

As part of this annual event, the General Counsels Forum Winter Meeting 2011 will take place on Wednesday, January 12th at the Harvard Club in New York. This invitation-only Council is limited to the most senior legal officers among NRF’s retail membership who meet only two to three times each year. Senior legal officers come together to share strategy and ideas for addressing cutting edge legal and management issues of concern to retail law departments, such as alternative dispute resolution, antitrust trends, advertising, benchmarking of legal programs and securities law issues, as well as other matters. Crowell & Moring partner, Bridget Calhoun, has been invited to speak on the topic of “New FTC ‘Green Guides’ for Advertising.”

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.
