WANT TO KNOW HOW THE DOJ’S BRAND MEMO MAY GIVE HEALTH CARE CONTRACTORS A NEW AVENUE OF DEFENSE IN FCA LITIGATION? READ “DOJ: PUTTING LIMITS ON GUIDANCE” TO FIND OUT

Crowell & Moring has issued its seventh-annual “Litigation Forecast 2019: What Corporate Counsel Need to Know for the Coming Year.” 

The health care section of the Forecast, DOJ: Putting Limits On Guidance,” outlines how The DOJ’s Brand Memo may give health care contractors a new avenue of defense in FCA litigation, but how it will be interpreted is still unclear.

There is also an interesting discussion of how companies and law firms are leveraging technology to improve their legal operations and litigation strategy in the cover story, “Welcome to Your New War Room: How Technology Is Finding Its Way into Litigation Case Strategy.” It features interviews with in-house counsel at Cisco, Humana, United Airlines, and Lex Machina and discusses how technology is streamlining the collection and analysis of information to aid “data-driven” decision making along the continuum of litigation.
