Morgan Lewis has one of the premier False Claims Act (FCA) and qui tam defense practices in the United States. Our lawyers have litigated such matters in numerous federal and state courts and defended against FCA investigations by both US Attorney and state Attorney General offices throughout the United States. We approach every matter with a sophisticated eye toward the multifaceted risks that may be implicated in order to thoughtfully, proactively, and efficiently guide our clients to optimal outcomes.
We have handled federal and state FCA matters in more than 40 jurisdictions. A hallmark of our practice is our ability to persuade government civil prosecutors not to intervene in such matters while, if necessary, aggressively litigating non-intervened cases pursued by private plaintiffs’ counsel on behalf of relators (whistleblowers). Our lawyers also have deep background in handling related administrative matters such as federal and state healthcare program exclusion proceedings, as well as suspension and debarment matters for government contractors.
