SEC Enforcement Webcast - "How to Handle a SEC Enforcement Inquiry Today"

Event | 03.07.06, 12:00 AM UTC - 12:00 AM UTC

Now that the SEC has provided new guidance in the Enforcement area under its new Chairman – and due to the constantly increasing number of SEC enforcement activities – it's more important than ever to understand how the Division of Enforcement's investigative process works. 

Among the topics of this program are:

  • What is the impact of the SEC's new statement on financial penalties on how you should respond to an inquiry?
  • What are the distinctions between formal and informal investigations, specifically the rights and obligations associated with each type of investigation?
  • How to respond to different ways that the SEC gathers information, including investigative testimony, document requests, and the subpoena enforcement process
  • What types of disclosures – if any – should be made during the different stages of an SEC enforcement action?
  • How does the relationship between the SEC and the DOJ impact how you approach an inquiry?

Crowell & Moring's Tom Hanusik, will be joining former SEC Enforcement Staffers Bill Baker, Partner, Latham & Watkins LLP; Jay Dubow, Partner, Wolf, Block, Schorr and Solis-Cohen LLP; and Russell Ryan, Partner, King & Spalding LLP, to provide practice pointers on what approaches work for the many different types of investigations that exist today.

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.
