Abstract
The False Claims Act (FCA)’s qui-tam provisions, which encourage whistleblowers to bring lawsuits against accused violators, remain the most common partner of the government in fighting fraud and its enforcement remains robust. DOJ has taken action under the Granston Memo to drop several qui tam lawsuits, and courts continue to interpret the landmark decision of the Supreme Court (SC) in Universal Health Services v. United States ex rel. Escobar, delivering a series of rulings that reflect the SC's decision on “implied false certification.”
In this LIVE Webcast, experts on complex commercial matters, Maureen C. McDonald (Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld, LLP) and Stefan Boedeker (Berkeley Research Group, LLC), will provide the audience with an in-depth analysis of the recent developments in FCA liability. Speakers will also present a comprehensive discussion of FCA violations and enforcement and will provide best practices to effectively manage emerging risks and complexities.
Key Topics:
• An Overview of False Claims Act
• Trends and Developments in 2020
• Notable Court Rulings and Decisions
• Risks and Issues
• Best Practices
• Outlook
