Please join us for the next edition of Third Thursday – Crowell & Moring's Wage Hour Update, a webinar series dedicated to providing practical solutions to the wage and hour problems that continue to vex even the most sophisticated employers.  Our Third Thursday webinars review important developments in wage and hour law, and focus on best practices for compliance and strategies for managing and winning complex wage and hour litigation.

Our next webinar will take place on Thursday, October 18 at 12:00 p.m. Eastern.  Our topics will include: (1) a preview of wage & hour and class action cases pending at the Supreme Court, and (2) a roundtable discussion of challenging issues involved in the settlement of class and collective actions, including confidentiality issues, scope of releases, and structure of payments to claimants.
  
We have also arranged for one hour of California CLE credit for this and upcoming Third Thursday programs. Please email Sarah Stein at sstein@crowell.com if you are interested in receiving CA MCLE credit.

Subsequent Third Thursday webinars will cover other topics of interest, including: independent contractor/employee classification issues, new enforcement initiatives from the Department of Labor, tricky “off the clock work” and other payment issues for non-exempt employees, class certification issues in the wake of Dukes, and the latest developments in the wacky world of California wage hour law.  Please mark your calendars to join us for the next program, scheduled for Thursday, November 15.

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.
