Financial institutions and financial services companies that have received government financial relief funds face new litigation risks – and heavy penalties – with the passage of FERA and a newly amended False Claims Act
A massive, unprecedented outpouring of public funds to financial institutions...Done quickly, with relatively little oversight...The most sweeping amendments to the False Claims Act in 20 years, with the enactment of FERA on May 20...Combined, it means a tremendously increased risk of FIs becoming defendants in qui tam suits under the FCA. And it’s not a future risk – it is already happening – with the broadened definitions of “financial institution,” a wider liability net, and a seasoned relators’ bar increasingly turning its sights on the financial services industry.
Attend this groundbreaking event to get insights from leading players in this
rapidly-evolving area – tools for ensuring protection, compliance, and
solid defenses against new liabilities for FIs
We’ve assembled a first-rate faculty of lawyers who are extremely well-versed with government investigations, FCA litigation, white collar crime, FI fraud, and FI compliance issues. Add to that an agenda that hits all the hot-button issues, plus in-house counsel and regulators on the front lines, and the result is a unique opportunity to sort through the issues at an advanced, practical level – so you can ensure compliance, avoid liability, and appropriately defend your client in the midst of new legislation, stepped-up scrutiny and enforcement, and increased penalties.
Attend and get valuable information on:
- The FERA Amendments to fraud statutes: scope and impact
- Managing parallel inquiries from federal and state enforcement agencies and bank regulators
- Minimizing risks of public disclosure and private litigation
- Ensuring your client’s compliance program is upgraded to meet changing requirements
