When a defendant enters into a deferred prosecution agreement (DPA) or other agreement with the government, the government often insists on the inclusion of factual admissions. Such factual admissions can include seemingly innocuous language like admitting that the government itself determined certain facts to be true. When the admissions are coupled with other "boilerplate" language in the agreement, however—such as the commonplace provision in which the defendant agrees not to make any future statement "contradicting" the "facts" admitted—the defendant may face challenges in subsequent civil litigation. In particular, the defendant may find itself having to fend off claims that it admitted more than it (or even the government) may have intended.
