The False Claims Act: Civil Investigative Demands and Investigations

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

Register

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).

State legislatures are also racing to implement their own regulations, particularly around AI’s use in critical areas, such as healthcare, labor and employment, and data privacy.
