An open, knowledge-sharing forum is encourages throughout two days of breakfast sessions, workshops and casual, relationship-building events.


Partners Stefan Meisner and Alexis Gilman will speak on the panel "The Antitrust Docket in 2022." Current antitrust law and enforcement is positioned to undergo a major change in the U.S. under the Biden administration and amid calls on both sides of the aisle for legislative reform. What will these proposed changes mean for practitioners and their clients as institutions pivot under new leadership and new legislation in 2022? This panel will discuss current enforcement priorities and trends, what in-house counsel can anticipate from the enforcement agencies in 2022, and practical tips for practitioners in navigating and mitigating risk for clients and companies.

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.
