The Department of Defense (DOD)’s recent release of the highly anticipated proposed rule for the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification Program (CMMC) has shaken up cybersecurity requirements for companies looking do business with the Federal Government. These emerging requirements become increasingly arduous for startup companies in the technology space – albeit cloud computing, software or artificial intelligence.

Join leading Privacy & Cybersecurity and Government Contracts attorneys Evan Wolff, Eric Ransom, Jennie Wang VonCannon, Michael Gruden, and Alexis Ward for a live panel at our San Francisco office for a robust discussion. Topics will include:

  • Overview of the CMMC proposed rule.
  • The CMMC certification process and what to expect.
  • FedRAMP and other cloud security requirements for government contractors.
  • Legal risks associated with cyber noncompliance.
  • Government contracting requirements for emerging 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.
