SUMMARY:Qui Tam Section: [VIRTUAL] Cooperation Credit in FCA Settlements - Is the Juice Worth the Squeeze?
DESCRIPTION:It has been nearly four years since Department of Justice issued guidelines outlining the factors it would consider when determining whether to credit voluntary disclosures\, cooperation\, and remediation in False Claims Act settlements\, yet this may be the first panel to bring together experienced government and defense practitioners to perform a deep dive into those guidelines and how they’ve been implemented in practice. \nWhat steps must a company take in order to receive cooperation credit in an FCA investigation? What is the impact of how voluntary disclosure and cooperation is treated in HHS OIG administrative cases? Just how often are companies cooperating in meaningful ways? And how has the government rewarded companies that invest in strong compliance programs and who cooperate with investigations? Our panel will address these and related issues during this Zoom roundtable. \n[Register Online] \n\nAbout the Presenters\nGregory Demske\, Goodwin Procter LLP \n  \n  \n  \n  \nColin Huntley\, Civil Fraud Section\, U.S. Department of Justice  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nAdam J.
