CARES Act – A Legal, Compliance and Risk Management Discussion

The CARES Act offered a spectrum of government relief options to help businesses respond to the many operational and financial challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic. The available relief programs included the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) and Main Street Lending Program (MSLP). Many companies benefitted from these programs and are now considering the oversight and compliance attached to these programs.

Join us for a thoughtful discussion with our panel of public and private sector legal and compliance professionals, including Michelle Blank, COVID Desk Officer - Office of Inspector General for the U.S. Small Business Administration.

The panel will discuss CARES Act programs and how borrowers and lenders can properly assess and manage related compliance risks and prepare for a government inquiry or investigation.

The panel will also provide practical insights on:

• CARES Act enforcement cases and oversight trends
• Administrative and legal actions, inquiries, investigations, as well as a careful review of unique risks and issues for each
• Compliance and mitigation strategies for managing legal and financial risks to the business
• Strategies for managing CARES Act litigation, privilege and discovery issues

The webinar will feature a Q&A session. You may ask questions during the Q&A or submit them when you register.

This program is provided by Barnes & Thornburg in conjunction with BDO.
