Whistleblower Representation

Whistleblowers play a crucial role in maintaining ethical standards and ensuring accountability within organizations. But taking the step to report wrongdoing – internally or to law enforcement – can be daunting, especially when the information involves powerful individuals, entities, or government agencies. We represent whistleblowers in various sectors, guiding them through the legal process with sensitivity and professionalism.

Our whistleblower representation includes:

Reporting Consultation

Whistleblowers often fear retaliation, such as wrongful termination or demotion, and their own personal legal risk in reporting illegal practices. We work closely and confidentially with clients and law enforcement to develop reporting strategies that minimize the risk of retaliation and legal risk.

Whistleblower Litigation

Our attorneys are equipped highly sensitive whistleblower cases across industries, including healthcare companies, defense contractors, and consumer product manufacturers. Even when litigation in a public forum is necessary, we handle whistleblower cases with utmost discretion and professionalism, gaining the respect of courts and adversaries.

Representation in Administrative and Legal Proceedings

Whistleblower cases may involve various legal channels, including government investigations, hearings, or court proceedings. We represent clients in each step of the process, offering robust legal support to protect their interests and bring their claims to light.

At Robinson Markevitch & Parker, we understand the courage it takes to come forward as a whistleblower, and we are committed to ensuring that our clients are supported and protected throughout the process.

False Claims Act

The False Claims Act is a powerful tool, allowing individuals to file lawsuits on behalf of the government to expose fraudulent activities involving government contracts, programs, or funds. False claims can range from Medicare overbilling to contract fraud against the state or federal government. Robinson Markevitch & Parker represents whistleblowers – known as “relators” – in false claims matters under both federal and state law, helping them expose misconduct and potentially share in the recovery. False Claims Act cases are complex and require extensive planning and detailed knowledge. Robinson Markevitch & Parker is dedicated to achieving fair, just outcomes for those who come forward to expose fraud against the government.

Our False Claims Act services include:

Investigation and Evidence Gathering

  • Building a strong FCA case requires gathering substantial evidence of fraud, sufficient to convince the court or law enforcement that the claim of unlawful activity is legitimate. Our attorneys work closely with clients to compile the necessary information and develop a solid case for disclosure.

Qui Tam Litigation

  • Whistleblowers can file what are known as “qui tam” lawsuits on behalf of the government under the False Claims Act, allowing them to pursue claims for fraud against the government. We guide clients through this process, including representing them in court, coordinating with law enforcement, and pursuing government involvement where appropriate.

Negotiation of Financial Rewards

  • Whistleblowers are often entitled to financial compensation for reporting illegal conduct and pursuing False Claims Act and similar cases, such as a percentage of the recovery. We work to maximize our client’s potential rewards while ensuring that they remain protected.
