FCA/FCPA Investigations and Litigation
Berkowitz Oliver represents companies or their employees when they come under scrutiny for allegedly making false claims, false payments, or false records, certifications or statements. Such “fraud on the government” can carry a civil monetary penalty, plus 3 times the amount of damages which the government sustains because of this conduct, possible exclusion from the industry and criminal liability.
We represent clients against False Claims Act (“FCA”) and Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) allegations in a variety of industries, including but not limited to health care, medical supplies, transportation, construction and other industries involving government contracting.
