The False Claims Act: Legal Developments and Enforcement Trends: A Look Back, a Look Ahead

Webinar | 12.06.18, 7:00 AM EST - 8:00 AM EST

The FCA continues to be the largest fraud recovery tool for the Department of Justice, with annual recoveries in the billions of dollars. In this webinar, we will discuss FCA enforcement trends across industries such as health care, defense, and more, as well as newly emerging theories of liability and other attempts to expand the reach of the FCA, from small business fraud to third party liability actions. Important case law developments relevant to both litigation and investigations will also be covered, including what’s at stake in the next potential FCA case(s) to be heard by the Supreme Court and DOJ’s track record in moving to dismiss certain qui tam actions.


Presenters:

  • William S.W. Chang, Partner
  • Brian Tully McLaughlin, Partner
  • Charlotte Gillingham, Counsel
  • Sarah Hill, Associate

Terminations, Stop Work Orders, and De-Scopes – The Latest Updates and Recovery Opportunities for USAID Contractors and Grant Recipients

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.
