Recent Developments and Key Considerations in Consumer Finance False Claims Act (FCA) Litigation Webinar
February 3, 2021
O’Melveny and Berkeley Research Group (BRG) will host a webinar on “Recent Developments and Key Considerations in Consumer Finance False Claims Act (FCA) Litigation.” Corporations serving consumers and the general public under business arrangements with state and federal governments, and organizations operating in highly-regulated sectors involving government payments face increased scrutiny and exposure to claims initiated by state and federal governments, whistleblowers, and consumers for false claims submitted to government agencies and departments.
BRG directors Greg Halm and Paul Noring will be joined by O’Melveny partners David Leviss and Liz McKeen to discuss recent consumer finance-related FCA court rulings, the Department of Justice’s stance in consumer finance cases, the growing importance of expert consultants in establishing data compliance protocols and other effective strategies for limiting a company’s FCA liability exposure.
