False Claims Act Liability: Best Practices in Managing Complexities

Live Date: Friday, April 16, 2021 from 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm (ET)
Recording Available: Monday, April 19, 2021

Overview:

Halfway into President Trump's administration, the Department of Justice (DOJ) provided a clearer image of its enforcement priorities for the False Claims Act (FCA). The 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 also provided new guidelines on the importance of cooperation in inquiries in FCA and has taken action under Grantson Memo to drop several qui tam lawsuits. Courts have also continued 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, a panel of thought leaders and professionals brought together by The Knowledge Group will provide the audience with an in-depth analysis of the recent developments in false claims act 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.
