"The False Claims Act: Current Trends and New Risks"
Presented by Ballard Spahr LLP

This panel will examine the evolving landscape of the False Claims Act (FCA), focusing on recent enforcement priorities, emerging risk areas, and best practices for managing compliance in a changing regulatory environment. Panelists will discuss notable increases in FCA actions related to Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) funds, which have impacted a broad range of businesses across industries. The session will also explore the new wave of FCA scrutiny tied to federal grant funding and heightened certification requirements introduced by recent administrative changes—areas where organizations face growing exposure and increased uncertainty. Alongside these developing trends, the panel will cover traditional applications of the FCA that remain central to government enforcement efforts. Attendees will gain insights into proactive strategies for navigating both longstanding and novel risks under one of the government’s most powerful civil enforcement tools.

Speakers: 

• Lesley Wolf, Partner, Ballard Spahr LLP
• Terry Grugan, Partner, Ballard Spahr LLP
• Matthew Smith, Partner, Ballard Spahr LLP
• Alexandra Lastowski, Assistant General Counsel, Cencora

ACCGP's GC/CLO Lunch Club is a non-sponsored chapter event to allow GCs and CLOs to have an open discussion on a relevant topic. The discussion is geared to attorneys at the GC/CLO level.

This roundtable discussion, moderated by Julie Laine and Adesola Adegbesan, will explore the nuances of how generational differences may impact managing an in-house law department.  We will discuss the various motivations, communication styles, world views, and perspectives of different generations of legal professionals given that, in many cases, younger attorneys and staff in law departments are managed by and/or work with attorneys and other colleagues of different generations, which can affect working relationships and ways of working, either directly or indirectly. No matter what industry or area of the law your focus is, the businesses and clients we serve require constant interaction with people of varied generations. This discussion will address practical questions and dissect the challenges GCs and CLOs may face with balancing generational desires and norms with the need to effectively manage and lead their teams.

Please note, no CLE credit will be provided for this program.
