Sept 26, 12:00-1:15pm ET: Government Contracts and Cybersecurity
As federal and state governments intensify their efforts on fraud detection and prevention, and with substantial financial rewards encouraging whistleblowers to share insider information with authorities, the FCA has become a more powerful tool against government contractors. In the first part of this three-part webinar series, PilieroMazza’s Matt Feinberg, Mark Rosenow, and Jackie Unger discuss common scenarios in federal procurement contracts and cybersecurity that could lead to FCA violations.
Learning objectives include:
- What are ways companies can violate the FCA with regard to cybersecurity?
- What are some examples of FCA matters involving cybersecurity?
- What can companies do to avoid cybersecurity FCA liability?
Oct 1, 12:00-1:15pm ET: Construction and Workforce Issues
In the second installment of our three-part webinar series, join PilieroMazza’s Matt Feinberg, Jessica duHoffmann, and Sarah Nash as they explore common FCA triggers often encountered by federal construction contractors and protection strategies to avoid them. Federal construction contractors—both primes and subs—should be wary as they face a higher risk of FCA liability due to the complicated nature of construction contracts, prevailing wage obligations, and performance of work requirements.

Learning objectives include:
- How does the FCA relate to construction contractors?
- How do joint ventures and mentor-protégé relationships increase risk?
- What are the real-world examples of FCA cases against construction firms?
- What are the strategies for protecting your company from an FCA claim?
