SUMMARY:Qui Tam Section: [VIRTUAL] Ethical & Practical Insights from Former FCA Prosecutors in Private Practice
DESCRIPTION:**Program hosted in (ET) Time Zone**\n\n\n\nJoin the FBA’s Qui Tam Section for a timely and practical discussion with a panel of former government attorneys who have since moved to the private sector. The panelists—all attorneys who recently went in-house or joined the relator’s or defense bar—will share insights from their times in government service (and since then) that will be useful to lawyers who have recently left DOJ or a USAO\, as well as to practitioners who seek a peek behind the curtain as they advise clients on FCA matters. The conversation will include a discussion of how recent government departees can navigate conflicts\, confidentiality obligations\, matter restrictions\, and client or firm expectations. The discussion also will address the practical opportunities and challenges that come with entering private practice after government service\, including how former DOJ and USAO attorneys are viewed by (and can interact most effectively with) clients\, relators’ counsel\, defense counsel\, and the government. Throughout\, the panelists will share practical strategies for engaging most productively with government counsel given their past experience and will discuss how lawyers without prior government experience have teamed up with former DOJ/USAO attorneys to provide clients with enhanced representation. \nRegister Today!\nPresented by the FBA Qui Tam Section \n\nPresenters\nMODERATOR \n\nAmy D.
