The False Claims Act: Qui Tam Whistleblower Litigation and Investigations
Webinar | 10.17.18, 8:00 AM EDT - 9:00 AM EDT
With treble damages against defendants and qui tam relator shares of up to 30% of those damages, plus reasonable attorney fees in successful suits, the FCA provides strong incentives for whistleblowers to bring qui tam actions, making it no surprise that most FCA actions are initiated by relators. Whether DOJ intervenes or not, FCA qui tam actions pose a variety of unique issues and challenges. In this webinar, we’ll discuss the peculiarities of qui tam actions and offer practical insights and strategies for the investigation and litigation of these cases.

The federal government has identified purported ‘waste, fraud, and abuse’ in small business programs as a major focus of its current enforcement efforts. As it relates to federal procurement, we have seen audits and investigations rolled out not only of active participants in the Small Business Administration’s 8(a) Business Development Program but also reviews of various types of small business contracts (such as 8(a) sole source and set-aside awards, preference-based awards, and small business set-aside awards over particular values). Join Crowell & Moring as we discuss what aspects of contract performance and teaming arrangements are being scrutinized (e.g., size/status eligibility, limitations on subcontracting compliance, reasonableness of market rates, etc.) and how these considerations can impact both small government contractors holding the prime contracts under review and their subcontractors.
