The Knowledge Group is assembling a panel of experts to help healthcare attorneys and their clients develop a plan to address emerging issues.
The panelists will address key topics, including:
- Preparing company spokesmen: potential pitfalls and strategies to mitigate risk
- Identifying risks and benefits from proactively approaching the government, including HHS-OIG or DOJ
- Managing senior executive risk in light of recent government guidance and enforcement activity
- Addressing emerging issues in the assessment and valuation of litigation or enforcement risk
