The False Claims Act: What makes a whistleblower law so powerful | Berkeley Boosts

Описание: In part 2 of Berkeley Law Executive Education’s “Berkeley Boosts” three-part webinar series, “Speaking Up: Whistleblowers, Whistleblowing and the US’s Unique Approach to Fraud Enforcement,” Phillips & Cohen partner Claire Sylvia moderates a discussion about the history and structure of the US federal False Claims Act and its unique whistleblower (“qui tam”) provisions.

Phillips & Cohen co-founder John Phillips, who was a key architect of the modern-day False Claims Act, and Jeb White, chief executive officer of Taxpayers Against Fraud and the TAF Education Fund, contribute their insights into how the False Claims act became the government’s chief fraud enforcement tool.

Claire Sylvia is the author of a widely cited treatise on the False Claims Act and a thought leader in the qui tam bar. She has represented a number of whistleblowers in successful qui tam cases against defense contractors and healthcare providers.
