False Claims Act risks are evolving extremely rapidly. Changes in the law, new technologies, and a determined effort to expand the universe of potential defendants combine to increase risk to the highest level in recent history. 


Join our experienced practitioners from the Government Contracts, Health Care, and White Collar groups on January 15th as they discuss emerging FCA risks and issues government contractors are likely to face in 2020. In particular, the presenters will focus on procedural issues and those related to FCA cases involving sureties/construction contractors, cyber/information privacy, international trade, health care, and small businesses.
