About the Program

In the fifth session of our Winning Combinations webinar series, Rich Morvillo, from Seyfarth’s White Collar Defense & Investigations group, together with Erica Bakies, from Seyfarth’s Government Contracts group, will explore the nuances of informal outreach by government agencies. Attendees will gain insights into when such outreach should lead to initiating and conducting thorough internal investigations. The session will cover best practices for responding to informal inquiries, strategies for leveraging these interactions to uncover potential issues within your organization, and tips for maintaining compliance while protecting your company's interests. Join us to learn how to turn government outreach into an opportunity for proactive risk management and enhanced corporate governance.
