Online CLE False Claims
Join us for this Knowledge Group Online CLE False Claims Webinar. Earlier in 2019, the Civil Division of the U.S Department of Justice (DOJ) released formal guidance in clarifying the manner in which the DOJ allocates credit to defendants who cooperate with government investigations in False Claims Act matters. These guidelines emphasize voluntary disclosure and provide insight into actions that could give rise to cooperation credit. Particularly, the guidance validates the factors that prosecutors should consider when evaluating if an entity should receive cooperation credit and its extent. Cooperation credit generally results in DOJ’s diluting penalties or damages imposed in an FCA resolution. However, it remains ill-defined how much credit cooperating individuals and companies will take benefit of this.
Thus, companies that discover potential False Claims Act violations should immediately consult with their counsel about the procedural steps to follow.
In this LIVE Webcast, a seasoned panel of thought leaders and professionals brought together by The Knowledge Group will provide and present to the audience an in-depth analysis of the fundamentals as well as recent developments in Demystifying the DOJ’s New False Claims Act Guidance. Speakers will also present all important issues surrounding this significant topic and implementation of measures to reduce the risk of repetition and to identify future risks.

- DOJ’s New False Claims Act Guidance – An Overview
