Fast Break: FCA Hardball

The US Supreme Court's recent decision in Cochise and new US Department of Justice (DOJ) enforcement policies have prompted many organizations to reassess the scope of the False Claims Act (FCA) and their organization's individual exposure risk. Relators are also increasingly pursuing FCA claims with or without DOJ involvement. Understanding DOJ's new enforcement policies is critical for achieving a successful result in any FCA investigation. Join Katie McDermott and Matt Hogan for our next Fast Break session where we will discuss these issues and more.
