Webinar: Evaluating and Preparing Successful Qui Tam Actions from Intake to Filing
This webinar will provide a comprehensive overview from evaluating potential qui tam actions at intake to the steps necessary to prepare a case for filing. Initially, we will examine the legal, evidentiary, and practical issues and factors the relator’s counsel should consider before filing a case. Then, upon determining to file, we will discuss how relator’s counsel can put together an effective Disclosure Statement and complaint; one that will not only get the government’s attention but dramatically increase the likelihood of intervention. Historically, the government intervenes in only ~20% of all filed cases. Further, and most importantly, when the government decides to intervene, the likelihood of successfully resolving the case is ~90%. Thus, an experienced and successful relator’s counsel evaluates and assesses cases based on multiple factors, many of which are the same as what the government uses when making intervention decisions. Also, when deciding to file, the experienced and successful relator’s counsel prepares the way forward by making informed strategic decisions and following through on the corresponding steps that can, and will, have a critical impact on the success or failure of the case. This webinar will take a deep dive into these issues, and attendees will leave with a better understanding of how to properly assess a case, determine when to move forward, and what they need to be successful in securing government intervention.
