Bass, Berry & Sims member Audrey Anderson will be a featured panelist at the 2026 Federal Bar Association Qui Tam Conference, with Bass, Berry & Sims member Denise Barnes serving as Private Sector Chair of the conference.
Audrey will speak on the panel “‘Illegal DEI’ as an FCA Trigger?”, which will explore the scope of False Claims Act enforcement under the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Fraud Initiative and recent executive actions addressing “illegal DEI.” The discussion will focus on DOJ enforcement priorities, litigation risk, and practical strategies for mitigating FCA exposure in a shifting regulatory landscape.
The panel will be moderated by Nick Peterson (Wiley Rein LLP) and will feature speakers from the U.S. Department of Justice, Baron & Budd, and Valdez Legal Insights.
The FBA Qui Tam Conference, widely regarded as the premier national conference for FCA practitioners, will take place February 19–20, 2026, in Washington, D.C., with a virtual attendance option available.
