Part of C5 Group’s LIFE SCIENCES GLOBAL SERIES


There is a sustained and aggressive use of the False Claims Act by the government and Qui Tam relators alike in the Life Sciences and Healthcare Sectors. Although they are companion industries, life sciences and healthcare often operate in individual silos. However, these industries are now bonding over being trapped in the cross hairs of FCA activity. Stakeholders for each industry now often work hand in glove. The unwritten lessons that each industry can learn from the other can foster collaboration and a commitment to compliance. By all accounts, the trend for government initiated FCA actions is continuing to climb, leaving the life sciences and healthcare industries pondering:

» Will the FCA enforcement increase under the Biden Administration? » What can we expect for Fiscal ‘21? » Where will government enforcement priorities lie? » What can you do now to prepare for the next wave of FCA enforcement?

This dual industry-tailored summit will address the underlying controversies and challenges posed by the latest FCA activity. The forum will feature key stakeholders from the life sciences and healthcare communities, including senior government officials, industry executives and leading private practitioners for a meeting of the minds between the life sciences and healthcare. Join us for in-depth discussion and analyses of the latest guidance, initiatives, and enforcement statistics impacting the life sciences and healthcare industries as we analyze what each group can learn from the other.
