Learn key points to consider when faced with defending a qui tam lawsuit.
False Claims Act lawsuits filed and pursued by qui tam relators continue unabated, with new qui tam matters averaging more than 700 per year. These lawsuits are brought against defendants across all industries that involve government money, from health care and defense to the education, financial, and technology industries. Even after a government investigation and decision not to intervene, qui tam relators often doggedly pursue FCA claims in anticipation of a relator's share of the recovery (or settlement). This course will flag key considerations for defendants across all industries when faced with defending a qui tam lawsuit. In particular, this material will explain the current state of the law with respect to key FCA defenses, including those uniquely applicable to qui tam lawsuits, and describe how defendants can successfully position themselves for dispositive motions, discovery, and potential resolution.
