The False Claims Act Webinar: The Year in Review and a Look Forward in the Age of President Trump

Morgan Lewis partners Zane Memeger and Brad Fagg will review and discuss significant cases and developments in the False Claims Act (FCA) arena over the last year.

As United States Attorney General Jeff Sessions recently acknowledged during his confirmation hearings, the new administration believes that the FCA and its whistleblower provisions have proven to be effective tools for rooting out government fraud. Because it is anticipated that the US Department of Justice will continue to vigorously pursue FCA cases in its efforts to prevent fraud, waste, and abuse, this webinar will also focus on what companies can expect in terms of enforcement and what they can do to mitigate those risks through compliance.

Topics will include:

• A brief FCA recap
• Recent Supreme Court and appellate FCA decisions
• A review of FCA enforcement efforts in 2016
• Government perspectives on enforcement
• Minimizing your FCA risks through effective controls and compliance
