Third Thursday--C&M's May Labor & Employment Update: Life After Brinker

Event | 05.24.12, 12:00 AM UTC - 12:00 AM UTC

Please join us as we kick off Third Thursday: Crowell & Moring's Wage Hour Update, a monthly webinar dedicated to providing practical solutions to the wage and hour problems that continue to vex even the most sophisticated employers. Our Third Thursday webinars will review important developments in wage and hour law and focus on discussions of employer best practices, with particular attention on managing and winning complex wage and hour litigation.

Join us for what we expect to be a spirited series of informal discussions on topics relevant to lawyers, HR professionals and business executives concerned about these issues. Third Thursday will be led by Tom Gies and Mark Romeo and other members of Crowell & Moring's wage and hour practice team.

Our first webinar will take place on Thursday, May 24 at 12:00 p.m. Eastern (we know that May 24th is not the third Thursday of the month, but going forward they will be, we promise!) So grab a sandwich or a bagel and tune in!

Our topics for the first session are: (1) life after Brinker, - best practices and new decisions involving meal and rest break practices in California; and (2) our perspective on the latest case law regarding enforceability of class action waivers in arbitration agreements in the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision in Concepcion and the NLRB’s decision in D.R. Horton. 

Subsequent Third Thursday webinars will cover other topics of interest.  Mark your calendars for the next one, scheduled for Thursday, June 21.  We hope you join us for what we hope will be lively, interactive and informative sessions.

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.
