Representing Employees in Qui Tam and Whistleblower Retaliation Cases
It is in government interest for employees to report known fraudulent practices of their employer. If an employee reports unlawful activity of an employer, such as filing false claims against the government, not only are there specific provisions that protect the employee from retaliation by the employer, there are provisions that allow an employee to recover a percentage of the funds recovered from the business as a result of the information reported by the employee.
Our whistleblower claim lawyers guide employees through the filing of a qui tam claim and assert their rights in cases that arise as a result, such as cases involving discrimination or harassment as well as cases involving wrongful termination or other whistleblower retaliation. When you have lost your ability to earn a living and support your family, time is of the essence.
Employment/Business Defense in Whistleblower Actions
Employers are often wrongfully accused of actions by a disgruntled current or former employee. If an employee is fired, passed over for a promotion or denied a raise for valid reasons, that employee may retaliate against the employer by alleging false claims being filed by the business. Such claims are a fact and risk of doing business today. When the company's reputation and financial health is being attacked, you need to turn to a team of attorneys you can trust.
As a business owner and employer, you can count on our attorneys for their knowledge, skill and courtroom presence. We are your outside counsel when it's time for court intervention and discussions or negotiations have failed. The reputation of the company may be at stake. Separation or severance agreements may be a means to immediate resolution.
Many whistleblower claims are often connected with claims for breach of contract and overlapping claims and issues related to noncompete and non-solicitation agreements. This area of law is complex and the cases are very fact-intensive.
