Healthcare Litigation, Compliance & Enforcement Webinar Series

Healthcare industry leaders predict a drastic increase in enforcement actions stemming from the fallout of COVID and increased attention on policing fraud and abuse claims under the Biden administration, particularly claims related to CARES Act funds and increased use of telehealth during the public health emergency.

In our three-part webinar series, attendees will receive practical guidance from McDermott's white collar and healthcare lawyers, who have been studying the market to proactively advise clients on prioritizing compliance measures that providers, payors and life sciences companies need bolster in the face of increased enforcement activities. Each session will focus on a specific sector, giving attendees customized insights that will be pertinent for their business operations, and offering actionable tips on what to do should your organization receive a government subpoena.
