False Claims Act

Our experience in this area includes successfully defending corporations that have been sued under the FCA, conducting internal investigations and crafting and implementing compliance and remedial programs to protect clients from future FCA exposure. We have represented clients in qui tam litigation, in which we have obtained early dismissal or resolution of relator suits. We have also represented clients in connection with other matters relating to the FCA, such as employment retaliation claims asserted by whistleblowers, related shareholder litigation and SEC investigations and various corporate governance and disclosure issues. 

Cravath’s attorneys have previously held senior positions in the Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission. Our team also includes lawyers with extensive experience in highly regulated industries most at‑risk for FCA suits, including pharmaceuticals and financial services.
