D&O Session: The False Claims Act: Emerging Risks, Claims & Coverage Challenges

The False Claims Act (FCA) remains one of the government’s most powerful enforcement tools, creating significant risks for private companies, nonprofit organizations, and their directors and officers across industries. Any organization that receives federal money, bills the government, contracts with the government, or certifies compliance with government requirements faces potential False Claims Act exposure, but healthcare, government contractors, cybersecurity, higher education, nonprofits, and trade-related industries remain the primary enforcement targets. As whistleblower actions and regulatory investigations continue to expand, FCA allegations can trigger complex D&O insurance coverage issues.

This panel brings together industry leaders to explore emerging FCA risks, coverage challenges, defense cost issues, parallel proceedings, and recent claim trends. Learn how insurers, brokers, policyholders, and counsel address these complex exposures while identifying strategies to mitigate risk and preserve insurance protection.
