A Discussion with ACE Coordinators from DC, MD, and VA

Date: Feb. 27, 2018
Location: Washington, D.C.
Organized by: Qui Tam Section of the Federal Bar Association
TELG participant: R. Scott Oswald

Join the Federal Bar Association’s Qui Tam section as it provides fresh analysis on the rapidly changing landscape of False Claims Act (FCA) enforcement.

This panel discussion is part of a two-day conference featuring experienced FCA litigators from a variety of perspectives who will dive into advanced topics and discuss the latest developments, practices, and pitfalls pertaining to the FCA.

Among the many highlights:

A conversation with two giants of FCA litigation, one from each side of the aisle — John Boese and Jim Helmer, each of whom literally wrote the book on their area of practice.
Luncheon keynotes from Jessie Liu, U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, plus another government heavy-hitter to be announced.
Multiple panels in which ACE coordinators and other government attorneys will share practice tips and insights — including a discussion devoted solely to working with U.S. Attorney offices.
A deep dive on the standards for an FCA claim to proceed — a fast-changing area, as district courts begin to interpret the Supreme Court’s decision in United Health Services, Inc. v. U.S. ex rel. Escobar.

Other topics on a very rich docket: The value of experts in qui tam cases; advice on reaching (and announcing) settlements; and what to expect when a qui tam claim goes to trial.
