False Claims Act/Qui Tam Litigation

The False Claims Act (FCA) is the primary vehicle used by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) to confront persons or companies who defraud governmental programs. False Claims Act enforcement poses a significant and growing threat to corporations and institutions, with billions of dollars at stake. Whistleblowers and the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) use the Act aggressively, seeking to extract multiple damages and civil penalties.
