Speakers will examine the rapidly evolving DOJ enforcement landscape in life sciences and healthcare. In 2025, False Claims Act recoveries exceeded $6.8 billion, with whistleblower-driven cases outpacing government-initiated matters for the first time. We will discuss emerging enforcement priorities, including criminal prosecution of digital health and telemedicine fraud, transnational organized crime, expanding Anti-Kickback Statute theories, and DOJ’s increasingly aggressive use of the False Claims Act to pursue both billing fraud and regulatory violations. We will also share practical strategies to help organizations stay ahead of escalating civil and criminal enforcement risk and strengthen compliance programs in this high-stakes environment.

Kendall Mills, Head of Ethics & Compliance, Americas for JLL, shares how she uses data to highlight the impact of the organization’s ethics and compliance program when meeting with the Board of Directors. This includes building better board presentations, sharing the right KPIs, and crafting a narrative that puts this all together.
Board time is scarce, attention is limited, and trust earned over years may be lost in moments. In this session, led by Grainger’s Nic Eichenseer, Vice President, Associate General Counsel & CECO, we’ll ground the CECO’s board engagement strategy in first principles: the board’s role in ethics and compliance and how CECOs can enable effective oversight. We’ll then focus on how to use board time intentionally—through sharper materials, smarter metrics, and more compelling narratives—to build trust and credibility, educate directors about the business, and ensure ethics and compliance discussions are impactful rather than box-checking exercises.
Conflict of interest disclosures often contain valuable risk signals but uncovering them at scale can be time consuming.
