The white collar world had an active year, with the last 12 months yielding further incentives from the US Department of Justice (DOJ) to encourage voluntary disclosures as well as key rulings from the US Supreme Court that have affected the False Claims Act (FCA) landscape—all of which have meaningful implications for 2024.

In this report, we highlight significant white collar milestones from 2023 and how they may shape the new year. These developments include everything from the DOJ’s emphasis on the importance of due diligence in transactions to its move toward assessing businesses activities through a national security lens, to the Supreme Court’s rulings on the FCA’s scienter element and the DOJ’s dismissal authority.
