What Medical Sales & Marketing Should Know About Fraud & Abuse, Enforcement & Compliance

Thursday, April 15, 2010

Chicago, IL | Offices of McDermott Will & Emery


Fraud. Indictment. Sentencing. Three things you never want to experience – unless you are participating in MTLI’s unique interactive educational seminar.

On January 19, 2010, the FBI announced the arrest of 22 individuals charged with violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) as the "first large-scale use of under-cover law enforcement techniques to uncover FCPA violations and the largest action ever undertaken by the US Department of Justice against individuals for FCPA violations.” This Department of Justice (DOJ) public disclosure portends a clear escalation of DOJ's use of the undercover investigative methods being used against the medical device industry today to investigate potential fraud violations arising from medical device industry sales and marketing practices both in the US and abroad.

Please join AdvaMed and McDermott Will & Emery for this highly interactive program designed to enhance your understanding of how common sales and marketing practices can play a direct role in fraud prosecution and defense strategies. Seasoned lawyers will lead you through a workshop that features realistic mock illustrations of the fraud prosecution and enforcement process and addresses current issues of critical importance to your company and to you personally: Is your company in compliance with the AdvaMed Code? What are current trends and developments in enforcement? What can happen to your sales and marketing executives if you're not in compliance? What are the legal bases for defense? More importantly – what preventive approaches can you and your company take to ensure that this interactive seminar is the closest you get to these situations?
