Address

Dodger Stadium
1000 Elysian Park Ave, Los Angeles, CA

International sanctions and money laundering make headlines on a regular basis, but is there anything a Southern California company should worry about? Join us for an interesting hour-long CLE presented by Crowell & Moring covering what any Southern California company should know about the government’s increasing enforcement and scrutiny in these areas, recent relaxations of some sanctions, how sanctions and anti-money laundering (“AML”) regulations affect SoCal businesses in particular, and tips on creating and updating effective compliance programs to address sanctions and AML risks. 

Carlton Greene, Crowell & Moring partner, is the former chief legal officer for the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (“FinCEN”), the U.S. AML regulator.  Mr. Greene also previously directed targeting and investigation at OFAC, the U.S. sanctions regulator, for more than a dozen U.S. sanctions programs, including those against Iran, Syria, North Korea, terrorism, and transnational organized crime, served as counsel to the agency on terrorism sanctions, and was appointed by UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon as an expert to advise the UN Security Council on sanctions against Al-Qaida and the Taliban.  He will be joined by Jeffrey Rutherford, Crowell & Moring partner and experienced white collar attorney with a track record of defending Southern California companies against government investigations.

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.
