Whistleblower Lawyer Jason Zuckerman will be speaking at a CLE on March 24, 2015 titled “Mastering Whistleblower, Qui Tam, & SLAPP Law.”
Fluency in Qui Tam, Whistleblower, & SLAPP law has become increasingly important in recent years due to changes in the law and business cycle. Over the past two decades, nearly $30 billion has been recovered through Qui Tam cases under the False Claims Act. At the same time, recent amendments to whistleblower laws and the enactment of the Dodd-Frank Act and related legislation have made bringing whistleblower claims more accessible for clients and counsel alike. Similarly, SLAPP actions (Strategic Law Suits Against Public Participation) and anti-SLAPP have become a staple in complex litigation. The Rossdale faculty for this seminar features three national authorities in these evolving practices, who will describe the latest developments and cutting edge issues in whistleblower protection, litigating & handing Qui Tam claims, as well as SLAPP law. Registration includes online access to course and reference materials that serve as a helpful guide to the numerous topics and techniques discussed in the program.
