Where the practice focuses
- 01 Whistleblower & Qui Tam Every year the federal government recovers billions of dollars in fraudulently obtained public funds, and the False Claims Act is its primary instrument. It has driven recoveries touching government healthcare programs, the military, customs agencies, and countless grant programs. A qui tam action lets a whistleblower pursue recovery on the government’s behalf, and share in the result.
- 02 Financial Fraud Several important legal frameworks allow whistleblowers to report financial fraud and share in the recovery. Each program has its own regulator, procedures, and rewards.
- 03 Whistleblower Retaliation Whistleblowers are protected under both federal and state law. Federal protections are articulated in statutes such as the False Claims Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. State protections appear in statutes such as the California Labor Code.
- 04 Employment Law Beyond protection from whistleblower retaliation, employees are entitled to important workplace protections: against discrimination and harassment, and regarding leave and pay. California maintains some of the strongest employment protections in the country.
