Partner J. Mark Waxman spoke on December 14, 2007 for the Boston Bar Association’s Health Law Section on “US v. Sulzbach: A Warning to In-House Counsel & Compliance Officers.”
The Department of Justice Complaint against the former General Counsel of Tenet Healthcare alleging a violation of the Federal False Claims Act raises a series of important issues for all in-house counsel and compliance officers. Mr. Waxman and Suzanne Durrell, Law Office of Suzanne E. Durrell, discussed the challenges presented when there is the possibility of internal wrong doing in the face of government reporting and certification obligations, with a practical discussion of best practices to follow to protect both the company and the in-house team.
