False Claims Act Defense for Government Contractors

Counsel and compliance professionals at government contracting companies must be prepared to identify, assess, and mitigate the potential risks to their businesses stemming from aggressive governmental investigations and False Claims Act litigation, along with surging whistleblower activity.

This half-day, interactive program was created to equip company counsel and compliance professionals at all levels with the tools needed to manage critical issues that arise in false claims litigation.

• How the Government Contracting Landscape has Changed Post-­Escobar.
• The FAR and the FCA: How Compliance and Cost Principles Implicate False Claims.
