Are You Ready for It? A Fearless Preview of the Government's Expected Enforcement Priorities for 2024

February 13, 2024

Access the on-demand webinar here.

Federal enforcement agencies said “baby, let the games begin” in year 2023 by identifying some new areas of focus in curtailing fraud.  Investigations, settlements, disclosures, and whistleblower cases in the False Claims Act universe centered on a complex “Labyrinth” of topics such as cybersecurity-related fraud, COVID-19 loan false certifications, and applying the knowledge standard set forth by the Supreme Court in analyzing potentially fraudulent claims and misconduct.

Attorneys Rosie Dawn Griffin and Mindy B. Pava know “All Too Well” how the government’s focus last year can be expected to shape enforcement priorities for 2024.  As the new year begins, Ms. Griffin and Ms. Pava will go “Back to December” by providing an overview of 2023. Ms. Griffin and Ms. Pava also will discuss considerations relevant to how organizations can ensure there is no “Bad Blood” with enforcement agencies this year.  If you are a Swiftie – or you simply care about your organization’s “Reputation” – you won’t want to miss this webinar.
