Practical, Strategic, Trial-Tested FCA Defense

We offer insights, strategy and trial experience based on decades of experience handling complex FCA investigations and litigation to protect clients from one of the government’s most powerful enforcement tools. 

Our team includes former senior DOJ prosecutors and enforcement agency officials who understand how FCA cases are investigated and litigated, and how to defend them successfully. We know the priorities and tactics of government lawyers and investigative agencies and use that knowledge to anticipate challenges and position clients for the best possible outcome. 

We represent clients in industries most affected by FCA enforcement, including healthcare, life sciences, government contracting, international trade, financial services and cybersecurity. Our experience spans whistleblower actions, administrative proceedings and parallel criminal/civil investigations. Whether the case involves alleged overbilling, kickbacks, grant misuse or compliance failures, we develop tailored defense strategies grounded in the client’s business realities.
