Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP
The attorneys in Weil’s Litigation Department have extensive experience and a track record of success representing clients in litigation brought under federal and state False Claims Act statutes.

Our attorneys help multi-national companies across industries navigate the complex litigation risks posed by the changing face of False Claims Act legislation, as well as develop risk analysis, risk management and compliance best practices to avoid litigation in the first place.

  • Our attorneys are well-versed in all aspects of False Claims Act litigation and investigations, including lawsuits brought by qui tam relators, lawsuits where the government chose not to intervene, civil and criminal litigation brought by government agencies, and related government and internal investigations
  • We have tried or supervised to trial both the prosecution and defense of False Claims Act matters, resolved False Claims Act cases on motion, engineered successful False Claims Act settlements, and counseled clients on significant internal investigations into False Claims Act-related issues
  • We are familiar with the application of all relevant statutory and non-statutory defenses, including the public disclosure bar, the first-to-file rule, the statute of limitations, the Tax Bar, and the Government Knowledge Defense, among others
  • We have successfully handled False Claims Act cases through all phases of litigation before federal and state trial and appellate courts, including the US Supreme Court
  • We have obtained significant victories, including a major decision from the US Supreme Court that interpreted the public disclosure bar of the False Claims Act, and a high-profile win before the Appellate Division of the New York Supreme Court – which we believe is the first appellate decision interpreting the New York State False Claims Act
