Fraud. Indictment. Sentencing. Three things you never want to experience – unless you're participating in this unique AdvaMed/MTLI seminar at McDermott Will & Emery's office in New York City on March 19-20!
Please join AdvaMed and McDermott Will & Emery for this highly interactive program designed to enhance your understanding of how common sales and marketing practices can play a direct role in fraud prosecution and defense strategies. Seasoned lawyers will lead you through a workshop that features realistic mock illustrations of the fraud prosecution and enforcement process and addresses current issues of critical importance to your company and to you personally: Is your company in compliance with the AdvaMed Code? What are current trends and developments in enforcement? What can happen to your sales and marketing executives if you're not in compliance? What are the legal bases for defense? More importantly -- what preventive approaches can you and your company take to ensure that this interactive seminar is the closest you get to these situations?
