Federal Bar Association’s Qui Tam Section: How Party Selection Affects a Qui Tam Action

Partner Jaclyn Unis Whittaker will participate on the FBA’s Qui Tam Section virtual panel How Party Selection Affects a Qui Tam Action on September 11. This qui tam program will focus on who the parties to qui tam actions are, with an advanced discussion of how the inclusion or exclusion of certain parties affects qui tam cases.

Among other topics, this program will discuss the pros and cons of adding individuals as defendants, states as plaintiffs, and a deep dive into issues relating to private equity firms as defendants.

Jaclyn will be joined by Isaac Jean-Pierre of the US Attorney’s Office for the East District of Pennsylvania, Erika Hiramatsu of the Office of the Attorney General for the State of California, and Pamela Coyle Brecht from Pietragallo, Gordon, Alfano, Bosick & Raspanti. The panel is moderated by Kandis L. Kovalsky of Kang Haggerty.
