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.

An ELI Public Webinar - Understanding the Basics of Extended Producer Responsibility in the United States

To reduce waste and encourage recycling, an increasing number of international, federal, and local jurisdictions are embracing extended producer responsibility (EPR) laws, which have wide-reaching compliance implications for product manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and other entities falling within the varying definitions of “producers.” EPR laws assign covered producers greater responsibility for the full lifecycle of their products and establish mandatory requirements for reporting, source reduction, and financial contributions to third-party entities, known as producer responsibility organizations. EPR requirements apply to a variety of consumer product categories, including batteries, electronics, mattresses, pharmaceuticals, textiles, and, most recently, packaging and paper products.
