Client Successes

Defending Companies against Federal Healthcare Fraud Allegations

Our client, an international pharmaceutical company, was a subject of several complex federal healthcare fraud investigations concerning various practices allegedly implicating the federal health care anti-kickback statute. We investigated the facts surrounding the government's allegations, interviewed witnesses and analyzed the voluminous documents obtained by the government, and were able to demonstrate to the government that our client did not violate the anti-kickback statute in any of the investigations. Ultimately, our client was not charged criminally or civilly or otherwise penalized.

Defending Allegations of Illegal Kickbacks

Our lawyers successfully defended an individual who was the target of a federal grand jury investigation on allegations that he and his company paid illegal kickbacks to physicians to encourage the purchase of kidney dialysis supplies. We successfully prevented charges from being brought against him.

Rapid Response Yielding a Positive Outcome

Our client, a high tech manufacturer and government contractor, was the subject of a defense department investigation and parallel qui tam false claims action. Our rapid response to the first inkling of the government’s inquiry, coupled with a swift and thorough internal investigation to develop the facts, allowed us to demonstrate to the government that the client had not misrepresented its products to the defense department, resulting in the complete vindication of the company and dismissal of the qui tam action.

Protecting Individuals from Allegations of Federal Healthcare Fraud

Our client, a senior executive at a large international pharmaceutical company, was a subject of a complex, wide-ranging criminal and civil healthcare fraud investigation. During the nearly three-year investigation, the government explored various theories of culpability including use of an unauthorized medical device, violations of the anti-kickback statute and off-label promotion. We were able to demonstrate legal and factual inaccuracies and weaknesses in the legal basis for the government's evolving theories. Ultimately, our client was not charged criminally or civilly or otherwise penalized.
