Most CLE programs for transactional finance lawyers focus on substantive law concepts. Rarely does a CLE program for up and coming transactional lawyers focus on how to manage and close a deal. Understanding and managing the ebbs and flows of a finance transaction are critical skills to be mastered by lawyers who are targeting a transactional practice career path. How better to brush up on these skills, or hear about them for the first time, than to participate in a dialogue with seasoned finance transaction professionals? This program will provide insights and answer your questions through round table style dialogue using examples that will illustrate successful management practices and highlight how to avoid unfortunate miscues. We look forward to engaging with you, both in person and virtually.

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.
