NEW YORK, Dec. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ – New enforcement priorities, major shifts in resources within the Department of Justice, and ever-evolving policy initiatives are all contributing to an increasingly complex regulatory and enforcement environment for in-house counsel that will continue to take center stage in 2026.
Hosted by the American Conference Institute (ACI), the 13th Annual Advanced Forum on False Claims and Qui Tam Enforcement joins together in-house and external counsel, senior government officials, and leading business advisors globally to discuss current and emerging False Claims Act (FCA) enforcement trends.
This year’s esteemed conference co-chairs are Jaime Raich, former Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida; Zachary Cunha, former U.S. Attorney for the District of Rhode Island; and Hamsa Mahendranathan, a partner at Whistleblower Partners.
“ACI’s False Claims and Qui Tam Enforcement Conference is a compelling mix of defense counsel, relator’s counsel, in-house counsel, and prosecutors who kick off the year with strategic insight into this key area of corporate enforcement,” said Raich, now chief counsel for global investigations at GE Aerospace.
