Practitioners have had many concerns about the New York State Power of Attorney Law since its revision in 2009. In response to some of the issues raised, a new law amending several sections of New York’s General Obligations Law became effective September 12, 2010, but is retroactive to September 1, 2009, making the statute and its implementation more user-friendly, although problems still exist. This program will provide an update on the changes that were made to the Power of Attorney Law. Presenters will focus on: updates on revocation, the gift rider, tax aspects of the law, elder law issues, and numerous practical considerations, including requirements for drafting and executing, and the use of out of state and other
non-statutory forms, their validity and enforceability.

In the last several years the U.S. Department of Justice, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and other federal and state agencies have aggressively pursued both criminal and civil cases against drug and device manufacturers engaged in the promotion of their products for uses not approved by the FDA. Since 2007 alone, cases involving the off-label promotion of drugs and devices have resulted in criminal and civil settlements totaling more than $6 billion, and the cases have involved several of the largest pharmaceutical and device companies in the world. This program will provide an overview of recent developments relating to the government's enforcement efforts against off-label promotion. A distinguished faculty from the government and the defense bar will discuss the types of off-label marketing that have been detected in recent government investigations, the defenses that may be available, the increased prospect of strict liability misdemeanor prosecutions of corporate executives, and the exclusion of executives from participation in federal health care programs. This program is intended for in-house counsel and outside counsel, members of the white collar criminal defense bar, and all other attorneys who are interested in learning more about the pursuit and defense of cases involving off-label promotion.
