How to “Deliver Uncompromised”
Event | 01.10.19, 7:00 AM EST - 8:00 AM EST
Address
Crowell & Moring
1001 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20004
In the wake of the recently released “Deliver Uncompromised” report, defense contractors are questioning how their cybersecurity posture could help – or hurt – their competitiveness. Under the report’s recommendations, a contractor’s overall security would join cost, performance, and schedule as key evaluation pillars – marking a significant shift in how contractors compete for work. The report recognizes, however, that its success would likely require increased incentives for the contracting community to invest in risk mitigation, including liability protections and tax incentives.
Join Crowell & Moring practitioners on Thursday, January 10, 2019 at 12:00 pm for a lunch time event focused on the report and what it means for contractors. The event will include a discussion with an esteemed panel including report co-author Christopher Nissen (MITRE) and Emile Monette (DHS), as well as Crowell & Moring cybersecurity and procurement practitioners.

- Evan Wolff, Partner

Guest Speakers:
- Christopher Nissen, Report Co-Author, Director, Asymmetric Threat Response, The MITRE Corporation

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.
