Morrison & Foerster is proud to sponsor FDLI's annual Enforcement, Litigation, and Compliance Conference which brings together industry, regulators, attorneys, litigators, academics, and consultants to discuss trends and issues in enforcement and compliance, the latest developments in both civil and criminal litigation, and recent cases and settlements. This year's conference will be a virtual event, offering an opportunity to hear from and interact with top officials from FDA, DOJ, FTC, and other government agencies. As we move out of the COVID-19 pandemic, come hear from your peers about how they are staying compliance and inspection ready as FDA ramps back up inspections, what companies need to do to plan for and manage enforcement risk, trends in criminal and civil litigation, and government priorities for the new year.
