Crowell & Moring Partner Matt Welling, a member of the firm's Privacy & Cybersecurity group, will be speaking at Cyberevolution, taking place November 14-16th in Frankfurt. His panel, "Arresting Disaster: Driving Incident Response in Cyber-Regulated Europe in an Age of AI Threats," will take place at 3:10 p.m. CET.

In today’s volatile cyber landscape, threats are increasingly sophisticated (e.g. AI-powered ransomware and data exfiltration techniques), and the regulatory environment is ever-changing. Now more than ever, the responsibility falls on executives to spearhead effective incident response plans. This fireside chat with industry leaders Navroop Mitter, Matthew Welling, and Evan Wolff, unpacks the complexities executives face around incident response in this new cyber-normal. The panel will delve into the intricate interplay between AI-driven threats, end-to-end encrypted communications, and new regulatory landscapes both in the U.S and Europe, particularly in the light of recent legislative developments like the U.K.'s Online Safety Bill.

Cyberevolution 2023 is a must-attend for cybersecurity professionals in any point of their career, who not only want to learn about the deployment of traditional as well as unconventional cyber defense methodologies and strategies, but also gain a better understanding of the growing relevance of cybersecurity for businesses.

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.
