Responding to Whistleblower Claims

If someone has made a whistleblower claim against you, the first thing you should do is take control of the situation. One of the most important steps you can take is to launch your own internal investigation of the alleged misconduct, even if the government has already launched its own investigation. 

When we work with a client who is subject to a whistleblower complaint, we bring in a team to conduct a parallel investigation. We build a team composed of former regulators and investigators, attorneys, and other industry professionals who know how government investigators work. We can help you get out ahead of the allegation, control the narrative, and work with the government to favorably resolve the complaint. 

About Qui Tam Investigations

A qui tam lawsuit is a specific type of whistleblower claim that is brought under the False Claims Act. A qui tam lawsuit can include the following types of claims:

  • Medicare and Medicaid and other types of healthcare fraud
  • Procurement fraud
  • FHA mortgage fraud
  • Kickbacks
  • Government contractor fraud

Qui tam lawsuits bring the power of the United States government to bear on your business. You don’t have to face these claims alone. You need someone who can not only defend you against these claims but can work behind the scenes to influence the decisions and control the damage.
