Crowell & Moring Associate Neda Shaheen, a member of the firm's Privacy & Cybersecurity and International Trade Groups, will be speaking at the Legaltech Hub (LTH) Innovation and Tech-Enabled Lawyering Conference, taking place September 29th at the New York Law School. Her presentation, "Benefits for Lawyers of Adopting New Technologies," will take place at 12:10 p.m. ET.

What benefits do lawyers themselves derive from the use of sophisticated technology in practice? Speculation has focused on outcomes such as the reinstatement of work-life balance, reduction of stress at work, elimination of drudge work and reduced frustration arising out of streamlined processes. But does technology actually lead to improved job satisfaction and employee retention? In this panel, lawyers speak about their experiences in using technology for legal work.

After the great success of its inaugural conference in 2022, the LTH Innovation Conference is back in 2023 - with a twist! With the advent of advanced large language models and generative AI, the industry has reached a tipping point. No longer is it sufficient for conversations around disruption in legal practice to occur in a vacuum, without practicing lawyers in the room. This new technology has lawyers excited to speak about how technology will change the practice of law, and concerned about the impact of technology on their careers. We are providing a forum for those conversations. For the first time, the 2023 LTH Innovation Conference is bringing together practicing lawyers and innovation professionals to address the critical topics of today, including the ethical ramifications of adopting advanced AI and the changing business model of law.

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.
