False Claims Act

The qui tam provisions of both the federal and state False Claims Acts allows a person or company with specific knowledge of fraud on the government, the “whistleblower”, to bring a lawsuit on behalf of the United States and/or respective aggrieved States and to receive a share of up to 30% of the proceeds in the event of a recovery.  In recent years, both federal and state governments have increasingly taken an interest in False Claims Act litigation in an effort to counteract widespread fraud and abuse on the government.


Success in False Claims Act litigation in many cases depends not only upon specialized skills and expertise, but, on an attorney’s ability to work closely with Government prosecutors and other federal and state investigative agencies.  At the direction of KEMY Founding Partners, Brian P. Kenney and Gerard P. Egan, both former distinguished Federal prosecutors, our firm is uniquely qualified to handle such complex and delicate matters and has done so successfully for the past 15 years.
