In Universal Health Services, Inc. v. United States ex rel. Escobar, 136 S.Ct. 1989 (2016) (discussion by C&M attorneys here), the Supreme Court held that an implied false certification can be a basis for False Claims Act (FCA) liability, “at least where two conditions are satisfied:” (1) the claim makes specific representations about the goods or services provided and (2) the defendant’s failure to disclose noncompliance with material statutory, regulatory, or contractual requirements makes those representations misleading half-truths. (Emphasis added).

Government contractors face a host of risks in working with the federal government. Among them, the False Claims Act looms large. From treble damages and statutory penalties to suspension and debarment risks and more, contractors confronted with potential FCA liability often find themselves in extremely precarious situations. What’s more, the Mandatory Disclosure rule requires contractors to disclose violations of the FCA as well as significant overpayments, which themselves can trigger FCA liability. This session will explore the interplay between mandatory disclosures and FCA liability, best practices and strategies for internal and government-initiated FCA investigations, as well as recent FCA trends and developments that contractors need to be aware of.
We will provide a CLE certificate of attendance and other materials to use in seeking continuing education credits.
Registration begins at 8:00am.

Thanks, in part, to the actions of Congress, federal agencies have ramped up their use of other transaction authority in recent years. Please join us for a discussion covering when other transaction authority is and is not properly used, why agencies and companies choose to use other transaction authority in lieu of FAR-based contracting, and how agencies are working with consortia to administer these vehicles.
