Our lawyers have been successfully investigating and litigating False Claims Act (FCA) cases for more than three decades and have amassed extensive experience in this particular area of US law.
We are exceptionally skilled in handling FCA matters at every stage, from investigation through trial and appeal, and we regularly interact with the US Department of Justice and other governmental agencies.
Our unrivalled experience includes arguing the landmark Escobar case before the US Supreme Court and we were the first to defend an FCA 'whistleblower' retaliation case at trial – and win.
We have successfully resolved numerous FCA actions at the motions stage and have achieved countless 'silent' victories by persuading the Department of Justice not to pursue FCA claims against our clients. Our team has represented clients from wide-ranging industries, from hospitals and healthcare companies to defense contractors, computer manufacturers, construction companies and insurance companies, including cases that have involved the intersection of the FCA and highly technical industry-specific regulations.
Our False Claims Act team has won dismissal of qui tam actions; achieved wins in complex, game-changing litigation; and negotiated favorable settlements in global criminal, civil and administrative multidistrict litigation involving FCA actions. And one of our partners was the founding chief at Department of Justice of the first co-ordinated federal task force to focus on government contractor fraud.
