Arent Fox represents institutional and individual clients facing allegations of business-related and other criminal conduct. We represent clients during all phases of an investigation, from subpoena compliance and grand jury proceedings to criminal defense at trials and on appeals. We also represent foreign entities facing domestic investigations and coordinate multi-country civil and criminal litigation.

We have experience in the federal False Claims Act (FCA), including the qui tam or whistleblower provision, and various state false claims acts, particularly those of California, Florida, and Massachusetts. We also represent defendants in the US Court of Federal Claims and the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, and deal with allegations of fraudulent claims under FCA.

We concentrate in matters involving health care fraud and government contracts. Practice group members are experienced in handling FCA disputes involving programs of the US Departments of Agriculture, Defense, Education, Health and Human Services, Housing and Urban Development, Transportation, and Veterans Affairs, the Agency for International Development, the Federal Aviation Administration, and the General Services Administration.
