In this episode, AGG Employment partner and co-chair, Ashley Kelly, speaks with leaders of the firm's new Civil Rights & False Claims Act Risk & Response Team, Gabe Scannapieco and Sara Lord, about the DOJ’s recent move to expand False Claims Act ("FCA") enforcement to include diversity, equity, and inclusion ("DEI") initiatives. The conversation covers the structure of the FCA, takeaways from the DOJ’s May 19 memo, and how whistleblower incentives and public reporting may fuel increased scrutiny.
Gabe and Sara also offer practical insight into how government contractors and organizations receiving government funding can mitigate risk and maintain compliance as DEI policies come under closer federal examination.
