Overview:
The False Claims Act (FCA) is one of the federal government’s most powerful tools to combat fraud in various industry sectors. By revisiting and regularly updating its approaches, the government continues to affirm its intent to pursue FCA claims. As part of this process, the Department of Justice (DOJ) recently issued statements and guidance regarding its plans of new approaches to FCA cases – a move which is expected to expand its enforcement efforts.
It is imperative for companies to stay up-to-date with these emerging changes and how they can guard their businesses.
In this LIVE Webcast, a seasoned 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 enforcement. Speakers will also present key defense strategies for companies defending against FCA claims in this rapidly evolving area of law.
Key topics include:
- Unique Aspects of FCA Claims and Procedures
- Factors Affecting FCA Exposure
- Risks and Challenges
- Pre-Litigation Strategies
- Representing the Defense in Litigation and at Trial
