The U.S. Government is investing more money than ever in new and emerging technologies, through R&D and procurement contracts, Other Transactions, and federal grant funding. While there are significant opportunities to leverage federal funding for growth and to build out the public sector market, these opportunities come with unique regulatory considerations and requirements. Our experienced practitioners will discuss key areas to understand when you are considering the federal marketplace, including intellectual property, national security reviews by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S. (CFIUS) and mitigation of foreign ownership, control, or influence (FOCI), export controls considerations, and more. This is a great opportunity to connect in person and explore the significant legal issues impacting technology companies, aerospace and defense companies, start-ups, and scale-ups in the Bay Area doing business with federal, state, and local governments. 

This program is designed for attorneys and business personnel who work at current or potential government contractors only. Please no law firms, government employees, or media.

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.
