Fried Frank's False Claims Act and FIRREA attorneys have extensive experience in every facet of the civil False Claims Act, and have been on the cutting edge of litigation and debate about the interpretation and scope of both statutes - the False Claims Act and the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989.

Website: http://www.friedfrank.com/ Event Synopsis: In 2015, there were 632 qui tam lawsuits filed at the federal level. These claims were filed under the False Claims Act, which allows individuals to file lawsuits on behalf of the government. In such cases, the government has the option to intervene and prosecute the case or allow the whistleblower to pursue the claim on its behalf, thus, entitling the relator an award up of to 30 percent of the amount recovered. Due to inconsistent interpretations of the Act's provisions, recoveries in these cases vary significantly, with high-end recoveries reaching into the hundred millions and presenting significant risks to companies facing such claims. It is crucial for companies to be fully aware of potential qui tam claim conditions to be able to prepare for, and therefore avoid, legal risks and threats that may arise in the future. In this LIVE Webcast, a panel of thought leaders and professionals assembled by The Knowledge Group will help in-house counsel, chief compliance officers and private practitioners in understanding the significant developments in the rapidly evolving Qui Tam and False Claims Act landscape. Key topics include: • Qui Tam and False Claims Act - An Overview • False Claims Act Provisions • Statute of Limitations • Exemptions to the False Claims Act • Legal Risks and Challenges • Recent Trends and Developments About The Knowledge Group, LLC/The Knowledge Congress Live Webcast Series The Knowledge Group was established with the mission to produce unbiased, objective, and educational live webinars that examine industry trends and regulatory changes from a variety of different perspectives.
