Event Synopsis: The False Claims Act (FCA) is the primary civil enforcement tool used by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) when addressing and managing fraud committed by individuals and entities against government programs. In mid-2016, in the case of U.S. ex rel. Escobar v. Universal Health Services, Inc., the Supreme Court significantly changed the landscape of FCA enforcement by establishing requirements for implied certification (a theory of falsity) and for materiality. These changes both broadened the avenues for whistleblowers and the government to bring complaints and made new defenses available to defendants. These changes also have important implications for discovery regarding government programs. It is not unreasonable to call Escobar an earthquake in False Claims Act practice. In this LIVE Webcast, a panel of thought leaders and professionals brought together by The Knowledge Group will provide the audience with an in-depth analysis of recent trends and developments in the 2018 False Claims Act landscape after Escobar. Our speakers will identify the significant implications and impacts of the decision, based on a flurry of new litigation and court opinions in the two years since the Escobar earthquake. Our speakers will also present best practices and practical tips to avoid potential risks and legal pitfalls. Key topics include: · Implied Certification – Then and Now · Materiality – Then and Now · Trends and Updates in 2018 after Escobar · What Lies Ahead 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.
