Strategizing for Dealing with the Government Under the New Administration
The start of a new administration in Washington, D.C. is historically a time of uncertainty and anticipated change for companies who deal with the government. President Trump has launched 2017 with bold statements about reforming the federal government, improving efficiencies, reducing regulatory burdens, and dismantling entire agencies and programs, while promising to inject significant investment into infrastructure and defense and to increase enforcement activities. At this early stage, the question remains – how will these dramatic changes and policy initiatives affect companies that deal with the government?
To help companies develop their game plans, our team will provide insider insight and practical advice across a broad range of subject areas, including an in-depth discussion of the Trump Administration’s policies and goals with respect to federal procurement, anticipated trends in enforcement and compliance including internal investigations, anti-bribery and corruption, and the False Claims Act, updates in the fast-moving world of cyber security, and a labor and employment update.

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.
