@brian_betner .@brian_betner Couldn't agree more. Our @HallRender legal assistants, paralegals, and admin staff are the MVPs of our team every day; the rockstars of our WFH efforts today. Couldn't do this without them.

#NinthCircuit opinion rejects an objective falsity standard--opening the door to vague #whistleblower allegations surviving dismissals in #FCA actions.

With $100 B available to #healthcare providers under the #CARESAct it's critical to understand how those on the front lines of the #COVID19 Pandemic can access these relief funds. Join my @HallRender colleagues on Wed. April 8 to get answers: https://t.co/x3nf3bwy5g

Quick access to #COVID19 funding is critical for #healthcare providers. My @HallRender colleagues have a helpful guide on #Medicare's recent release on accessing interest-free payment advances.

E.D. Texas: #Whistleblower objections are no hurdle to Government's right to dismiss baseless #FCA claims. | via @HallRender

Donuts may not be #kickbacks, but they sure caused a stir in a recent #FalseClaimsAct decision brought by a serial #whistleblower. Read more in my latest post with Saniya Khare via @HallRender

Boilerplate affirmative defenses create risk of motions to strike in the #SeventhCircuit -- but unnecessary motion practice is often a bad call: https://t.co/6qLtULEAIY

With #SCOTUS opting not to revisit Escobar this term, its ripples continue to reverberate in the circuit courts. Knowledge and materiality remain rigorous obstacles for #whistleblowers in #FalseClaimsAct actions. | https://t.co/tjDtO7XLpP via @HallRender | #10thCir #HealthLaw

[Drew B. Howk @drewhowk]

The #Government continues its new trend of dismissing frivolous #FCA actions over objections of #whistleblowers. The Granston Memo's effects are a welcome relief to #healthcare providers and government contractors. https://t.co/q6da7EUbRB

#FifthCircuit joins others in extending the Government's 60-day appellate filing deadline to all parties when the Government is a party. But for #FalseClaimsAct cases, the extended deadline only applies if the Government intervenes. | via @HallRender

[Drew B. Howk @drewhowk]

Convincing a #whistleblower to dismiss a #FalseClaimsAct case with prejudice doesn’t impact the Government’s right to pursue it. A reminder from the #FifthCircuit that #healthlaw litigation requires experienced health law litigators. | via @HallRender

I'm reviewing a vendor agreement set in Times New Roman 10pt font and two columns.

Please don't do this to your potential clients. https://t.co/Dv8KFAqsJb

Even when donating space for natural disaster relief, #StarkLaw presents challenges for #healthcare providers. Is your organization prepared to tackle these charitable challenges?
