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.

In 2025, the U.S. Government’s policy statements and Executive Orders have had far-reaching impacts for government contractors and grant recipients. Although terminations, stop work orders, and de-scopes have affected private companies, non-profits, and universities doing business across multiple agencies, the U.S. Government’s policies relating to the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has caused particular confusion and uncertainty relating to performance, compliance, and contractual procedure. Key questions have included the potential impacts of official and less formal communications from the U.S. Government, procedural issues arising from the move of certain functions to the U.S. Department of State, and the effect of various pending litigations. As businesses and organizations plan for 2026, the importance of preserving their rights and maximizing potential recovery opportunities remains paramount.
