When does money come from the government? That is the question that the Supreme Court will answer after granting cert in Wisconsin Bell, Inc. v. U.S. ex rel. Heath, No. 23-1127. Wisconsin Bell asks the Court to consider whether reimbursement requests under the Schools and Libraries Universal Service Support program—better known as the E-Rate program—count as “claims” under the False Claims Act (FCA). How will SCOTUS interpret the FCA dispute, and what’s next for organizations relying on E-Rate?

Listen now to our new episode of She Talks Law!
🎙 We’re back with a new episode of She Talks Law! 🎙 I had the pleasure of speaking with Nixon Peabody LLP partner and Franchising & Distribution team co-leader, Keri McWilliams, and WellBiz Brands, Inc. Chief Legal Officer, Sherin Sakr, J.D., LL.M., about the FTC’s ban on non-compete agreements and implications of the new rule within the franchise industry. WellBiz is best known for its franchise brands, Drybar (personal fav!), Elements Massage®, Amazing Lash Studio, Fitness Together® and Radiant Waxing. Despite exceptions in the rule for franchise relationships, both franchisors and franchisees alike need to be aware of the legal implications on the industry to comply and protect proprietary information.
