In 90 minutes\, we will follow a case from inception\, to investigation\, to litigation/prosecution\, and global resolution. What makes a case remain civil or go criminal? What causes parallel proceedings to succeed or fail? When\, if ever\, can one investigation be used to aid the other? What are the roadblocks that arise\, and how do prosecutors overcome them? What are tips from the defense bar for handling thorny parallel investigations? All of this and more will be discussed by an outstanding panel consisting of an Assistant Chief in the Criminal Fraud Section\, a Trial Attorney from the Civil Fraud Section\, a former AUSA and former Trial Attorney now with the defense bar\, and an experienced relator’s side counsel. \n*** This event does not offer CLE credit *** \n[Register Online]\n\nPresenters\n \nLeslie Garthwaite\, Criminal Fraud Section\, U.S. Department of Justice \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n \nKristen Murphy\, Civil Fraud Section\, U.S. Department of Justice \n  \n  \n  \n  \nVincent McKnight\, Sanford Heisler Sharp \n  \n  \n  \n  \nEllen London\, London & Stout \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nModerator\n Derek Adams\, Potomac Law Group \n  \n  \n  \n\nRegistration\n[Register Online] \n\nFBA Members: $0\nNon-Members: $0\n\n\nCLE\nPlease note that CLE credit is not offered for this webinar. \n\nEmail Communication Policy \nBy registering for this event\, you agree to receive email communications from the Federal Bar Association and affiliated sponsors of the program concerning event details\, Continuing Legal Education certification\, programming changes\, upcoming events\, surveys\, and post-event communications. \nRecording Disclaimer \nBy registering for an FBA webinar\, you agree to the recording of audio and visual content presented during the live event and consent to subsequent use of the recording by the FBA.
