With the increase in False Claims Act (FCA) investigations and their potential for expensive litigation, practitioners across the country are scrambling to stay current in this ever-evolving area of law. Their clients face significant threats not only to their financial wellbeing, but to their reputations as well.

Taught by a varied panel comprising representatives from various US Attorneys’ Offices and private practitioners who are reputed for their expertise in FCA claims and who hail from the government, relator, and defense bars, this program offers registrants a 360-degree discussion of the key issues. “The program faculty represent a broad and deep cross section from the Government and the relators’ and defense bars. Together they will address the most significant issues affecting False Claims Act and whistleblower practice today both theoretically and practically. This is the “go to” program.”, said Neil Getnick, one of the program chairs.Some of the trending topics that will be covered include parallel civil and criminal proceedings, damage theories, ethical concerns when advancing a case, emerging issues in healthcare and financial FCA matters, and multijurisdictional practice.
