Caught in the Crosshairs: Former Prosecutors Discuss Navigating False Claims Act Investigations and Litigation

Webinar | 04.19.23, 1:00 PM EDT - 2:00 PM EDT

For the second time this Supreme Court term, the justices are set to hear argument in a case involving the False Claims Act (FCA)—the government’s enforcement tool of choice in cases involving allegations of fraud. The statute’s prominence on the high court’s docket is a reflection of the sheer volume of FCA-related investigations and litigation seen in recent years. Moreover, all signs suggest that there is more activity on the horizon as seen by the recent announcement from the Department of Justice (DOJ) that a record-setting 948 new FCA matters were initiated in FY 2022.

Please join Crowell & Moring for a discussion with former DOJ attorneys on enforcement trends and best practices for companies that find themselves in the crosshairs of the government or whistleblowers in FCA investigations and litigation.

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.
