False Claims Act Trends: Q&A with Former DOJ Civil Frauds Attorney and Ropes & Gray Partner Amy Kossak

RopesTalk

On this Ropes & Gray podcast, Amy Kossak, who recently joined Ropes & Gray after a decade investigating and litigating FCA cases at the Department of Justice (“DOJ”), talks with Andrew O’Connor and Michael Lampert, co-leaders of the firm’s False Claims Act (“FCA”) practice. Together, they explore the latest trends, potential risks, and effective strategies for navigating the complex FCA landscape. Amy shares her insights, based on her time at DOJ, on what steps companies can take to reduce the likelihood of becoming involved in an FCA inquiry, how companies should think about potential self-disclosures and compliance program investments, and what is—and is not—effective when dealing with DOJ during an FCA investigation.
