The False Claims Act: Civil Investigative Demands and Investigations

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.
