The False Claims Act: Civil Investigative Demands and Investigations

Webinar | 09.12.18, 8:00 AM EDT - 9:00 AM EDT

The False Claims Act (FCA) provides for treble damages and ever-increasing statutory penalties and is a statute no in-house counsel or executive ever wants associated with their company.  But almost any company that transacts business with the federal government or provides services paid for with government funds, as well any company working with them, is subject to its reach.  Defendants frequently learn they are facing a potential FCA suit through the Department of Justice issuing a Civil Investigative Demand (CID).  


This webinar will provide an overview of FCA theories of liability and discuss unique aspects of CIDs in FCA litigation as well as strategies and considerations for responding to a government FCA investigation.


Presenters:

  • Laura Cordova, Partner
  • Brian Tully McLaughlin, Partner
  • Jason Crawford, Counsel

An ELI Public Webinar - Understanding the Basics of Extended Producer Responsibility in the United States

To reduce waste and encourage recycling, an increasing number of international, federal, and local jurisdictions are embracing extended producer responsibility (EPR) laws, which have wide-reaching compliance implications for product manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and other entities falling within the varying definitions of “producers.” EPR laws assign covered producers greater responsibility for the full lifecycle of their products and establish mandatory requirements for reporting, source reduction, and financial contributions to third-party entities, known as producer responsibility organizations. EPR requirements apply to a variety of consumer product categories, including batteries, electronics, mattresses, pharmaceuticals, textiles, and, most recently, packaging and paper products.
