Due to the NASBP membership's concerns about the False Claims Act and enforcement risks of the U.S. Small Business Administration Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), NASBP has organized a NASBP Virtual Seminar that will be held May 6, at 2 p.m. Eastern. NASBP Attorney Advisory Council Participant David Robbins and his colleagues at Crowell & Moring, LLP will address fraud and enforcement risks when applying for, accepting, using, and seeking forgiveness for U.S. SBA PPP funds. The Paycheck Protection Act is fraught with potential False Claims Act risks, which need to be recognized and mitigated. The NASBP Virtual Seminar will address key risk areas and risk mitigation techniques for bond producers, sureties, and contractors.
Robbins is a partner in Crowell & Moring’s Washington, D.C. office and has extensive experience with False Claims Act litigation and investigations, including in the surety industry related to the construction of government buildings. He ran the US Air Force’s global Procurement Fraud Remedies Office and served, among other roles, as Deputy General Counsel (Contractor Responsibility). He has a broad based practice and he is also the principal author and editor of the forthcoming American Bar Association peer-reviewed book entitled The Procurement Fraud Guidebook: The System, Stakeholders, and Response Strategies.
