SUMMARY:Qui Tam Section: [VIRTUAL] Insurance Coverage for FCA Resolutions & Defense Costs
DESCRIPTION:**Program hosted in (ET) time zone**\n\n\n\nThis panel of insurance dispute litigators and former Department of Justice False Claims Act prosecutors will discuss an evolving field of litigation between policyholders and insurers over coverage claims from False Claims Act settlements\, judgments\, and defense costs. Whether you defend FCA investigations and litigation\, or represent relators\, potential sources of insurance coverage are an important consideration. The panel will discuss the types of policies that may provide coverage\, and disputes arising under those policies. For example\, at what point during an FCA investigation is a “claim” made under the policy? Do FCA settlements stem from “wrongful acts” that may be excluded from coverage? What aspects of an FCA resolution might constitute a “loss” that is insurable? The panel will also review notable case law discussing these issues and more. \nRegister Today!\nPresented by the FBA Qui Tam Section \n\nPresenters\n\n\n\n\nDerek Adams\, Potomac Law Group\, PLLC (Moderator) \n \nLilit Asadourian\, Barnes & Thornburg LLP \n \nCara Duffield\, Lavin Rindner Duffield LLC \n \nEllen London\, London & Naor P.C. \n \n\nRegistration\nRegister Here! \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.

Lisa Colon\, Chair\, Construction Law Committee; Partner\, Saul & Ewing\, Fort Lauderdale\, FL\n\n\nAgenda\nWelcome & Introductions | 1:00 pm – 1:15 pm \nThe Impact of the FAR Overhaul and Executive Orders on Bid Protest Procedure\, Traditional Small Business and Other Socioeconomic Programs\, Construction and the Department of Transportation’s (DOT) recent Interim DBE Rule – 1:15 pm – 2:15 pm \nIn fiscal year 2024\, the federal government spent about $755 billion dollars on goods and services through the contracting process. This panel will discuss the pros and cons on whether Congress should adopt a “loser pays” approach\, or if this is just a solution looking for a problem. Regarding construction\, there have been questions with regard to the legal status of Project Labor Agreements (PLA) in Federal Construction Contracts. Are they in or are they out? What is the impact of anticipated tariffs on the construction industry? The panelists will discuss the impact of the Administration’s recent interim DBE Rule on DOT contractors and subcontractors and how contractors should be reacting. As far as the impact of new Administration policies on Small Business and Other Socioeconomic Programs\, there has been talk of the elimination of the small business “Rule of Two”\, and a decrease in the emphasis of government utilization of businesses from underserved communities. Is this true? Or are there any bright lights for small businesses in the near future? \nNetworking Break | 2:15 pm – 2:30 pm \nProspective Outlook on Federal Construction\, Employment & Labor Law\, Federal Grants\, and Strategic Alliances | 2:30 pm – 3:30 pm \nWith regard to employment and labor law\, the panel will discuss the latest legal developments and changing legal landscape at the US DOL\, OFCCP\, and the EEOC\, as well as how federal contractors can navigate these changes\, among other issues. There will also be discussion on the outlook for Federal Grants and what new grant vehicles will look like and how grant recipients should be preparing themselves for the future. Should grant terminations be challenged. What about contract terminations? How should contractors respond? What should contractors be doing during the shutdown in preparation of filing claims and recovering costs? In addition\, what should contractors know about how the FAR overhaul has affected or will affect the claims and disputes resolution process? \nNetworking Break |3:30 pm – 3:45 pm \nLatest Developments in International Procurement\, Sanctions & Export Controls\, Cybersecurity & Enforcement\, Suspensions and Debarments | 3:45 pm – 4:45 pm \nWhat is the current state of international procurement? Are there any common themes in public procurement in other countries that are common denominators that government contractors should be aware of? Meanwhile\, have you ever wondered what happens when companies ignore red flags\, bypass legal advice\, and underestimate the reach of U.S. export laws? This panel will focus on how companies must navigate complex trade and sanctions landscapes\, highlighting the steep costs of compliance failures. In addition\, the Administration’s recent cybersecurity executive order seems to signal a strategy shift in federal cybersecurity that might be described as narrower in scope with an emphasis on decentralization and a streamlined compliance framework for federal agencies and defense contractors. And what about the procedures for suspensions and debarments? Are those regulations impacted by the FAR overhaul? And what should we know about the FAR overhaul in general? \nClosing Remarks | 4:45 pm – 5:00 pm \nNetworking Reception | 5:00 pm – 6:30 pm \n\nThank You to Our Sponsors!\n  \n \n  \n \n
