Partner | BPN LawFalse Claims Act 2026: The $6.8 Billion Enforcement Surge and What Comes Next | Live CLE Corporate Law Webinar
Broadcast Date: Wednesday, December 9, 2026, from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM (ET)
False Claims Act (FCA) enforcement continues to present significant legal challenges for companies and individuals facing allegations of fraud involving government funds. Increased enforcement activity, evolving judicial interpretations, and heightened scrutiny of government contractors and healthcare providers have made FCA compliance, liability assessment, and litigation defense critical concerns for attorneys. This session examines the legal developments shaping FCA enforcement in 2026, including the implications of increased recoveries, government investigations, and whistleblower-initiated actions.
In this CLE webinar, Kevin D. Porter, Partner at BPN Law, will examine key enforcement trends and developments under the False Claims Act, including liability theories, materiality standards, scienter requirements, and the role of qui tam relators. The program will address the legal considerations involved in responding to government investigations, evaluating potential exposure, and defending against FCA allegations. Attorneys will also explore recent case law, enforcement priorities, and emerging issues that may influence FCA litigation and government recovery efforts.
Upon completion of this program, attorneys will be able to:
- Key provisions of the False Claims Act (31 U.S.C. §§ 3729–3733) and their application to government fraud allegations.
- Legal standards for establishing FCA liability, including materiality, scienter, and false or fraudulent claims.
- The role of qui tam relators, whistleblower protections, and procedural considerations in FCA litigation.
- Strategies for evaluating and responding to DOJ investigations, civil investigative demands, and government enforcement actions.
- Legal considerations involving damages, civil penalties, settlement exposure, and potential defenses under the FCA.
- Emerging enforcement trends and recent judicial developments affecting FCA litigation, government contractors, and healthcare-related claims.
