Hodgson Russ’s False Claims Act Practice Group is a team of attorneys and paraprofessionals with substantial experience with the federal False Claims Act and the nearly identical New York State False Claims Act, recently enacted into law. The False Claims Act team of experienced attorneys includes former federal and state prosecutors, former government attorneys, and practice area practitioners in fields such as health care and government procurement.

The firm’s interdisciplinary approach to False Claims Act cases and our substantive depth in critical risk areas is enhanced by our representation of both plaintiffs and defendants in False Claims Act causes. As a result, the team has a thorough understanding of those factors relevant to a successful False Claims Act case. Few other firms are capable of bringing this type of balanced expertise and experience to a case.

By way of example, our False Claims Act experience includes the defense of hospitals, home health agencies, physicians, and nursing homes in both criminal and civil False Claims Act investigations. We have also represented various defense contractors in matters involving allegations of procurement fraud and pricing disputes. Under the False Claims Act our attorneys have successfully represented a variety of whistleblowers in cases involving, for example, pharmaceutical company fraud, medical device fraud, and government procurement fraud of various types.

The firm’s unique approach, combined with the case experience of its False Claims Act team, enables us to efficiently and effectively assess and either prosecute or defend False Claims Act cases in virtually every substantive area of concern.

Our experience is further enhanced by close relationships with a range of forensic experts who are familiar with the collection and analysis of False Claims Act data and the assessment of potential False Claims Act damages.

Hodgson Russ and our False Claims Act Practice Group are well-positioned to represent clients in False Claims Act matters, whether federal or state, in a highly sophisticated and efficient way.
