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.

Rethinking "the Administrative State" - Takeaways From the Supreme Court's 2025–26 Term
The Supreme Court's 2025–26 term took up several momentous cases that will influence and, in key respects, reorient constitutional separation-of-powers principles moving forward. Join the D.C. Bar Administrative Law and Agency Practice Community for a discussion of the key takeaways from the Supreme Court's 2025-26 term. This panel will examine decisions addressing the scope of executive branch authority, including cases involving tariffs issued under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act and the removal of leaders of so-called independent agencies. The discussion will also address significant orders issued on the Court's emergency docket and what these decisions and orders signal about the distinct roles the three branches of federal government play in shaping the administrative state.
