Using the False Claims Act to Fight Customs Fraud: What You Need to Know

Customs duty evasion is an ongoing problem in the United States that harms businesses playing by the rules. The federal False Claims Act is an avenue for businesses and individuals who know about customs fraud to alert the government of this wrongdoing; level the playing field; and potentially obtain a financial recovery. Join us as we hear from our distinguished speakers who will discuss customs duty regulations; common customs fraud schemes; recent legal developments; using the False Claims Act to expose customs fraud; and practical guidance for pursuing and defending customs fraud cases. This CLE is timely and relevant for all attorneys who provide counsel to companies that import goods from abroad and potential whistleblowers.

Speakers: Li Yu (former Senior Counsel for the Civil Frauds Unit, Southern District of New York U.S. Attorney's Office) ; Ellen London (Shareholder at London & Stout P.C.)

Moderator: Courtney Finerty-Stelzner (Chair of Civil Prosecution Committee, Associate at Getnick & Getnick LLP)
