False Claims Act/qui tam/whistleblower actions are actions where persons who are original sources of information on false claims to the government can sue on behalf of the government and share in the government's recovery if successful. False Claims actions are maintainable in many areas, including healthcare claims and tax cases. Such cases are often highly technical matters, and require intensive effort and skill to effectively present to the government so that the government will agree to intervene in the case, which will increase the client's chance of recovery.
