Why We Win
We’re America’s most experienced and successful whistleblower lawyers, working to protect our clients and help stop the fraud and wrongdoing they expose. We stand out for our record, our expertise and our amazing attorneys.
We Stand Out for Our Work on Whistleblower Cases in Four Ways:
Our Record
We have brought successful whistleblower cases against some of the nation's largest corporations, including GlaxoSmithKline, Pfizer Inc., Northrop Grumman, General Electric, Quest Diagnostics, Hewlett-Packard Co., HCA Inc. and Goldman Sachs.
$12.8 Billion
Our whistleblower cases have recovered over $12.8 billion for government entities and defrauded investors – a record of success that far exceeds that of any other law firm.
$1.1 Billion
We have won over $1.1 billion in rewards for our whistleblower clients. No other law firm has secured more financial awards for their whistleblower clients.
Our Attorneys
Qui tam, SEC, CFTC, IRS—few other law firms can match our attorneys’ range in federal and state whistleblower reward programs. Phillips & Cohen’s lawyers have been pioneers in applying the False Claims Act to recovering funds in such diverse areas as medical lab testing, municipal bond sales and foreign military aid.
Our Expertise
The longest-standing whistleblower practice under government reward programs.
Our Process
We believe in our clients. Based on our decades of experience working with the government on whistleblower cases, we know that our efforts make a crucial difference in whether a whistleblower case is successful and how large our client's reward is.
We carefully evaluate all whistleblower submissions made to us to determine whether the allegations have merit and whether the wrongdoing fits the criteria for the relevant whistleblower program. If additional information is needed for our review, we call the whistleblower and often meet in person. We represent whistleblowers on a contingency basis, which means we don’t charge our clients for any of our work unless our clients receive a reward.
We work with our clients to gather evidence and analyze data about the fraud and if needed, hire experts to investigate and gather additional information. We build the strongest case possible before we file a whistleblower lawsuit or claim, which increases the chances of its success.
After we have put together the strongest case possible, we present the allegations and supporting evidence to the government in the most effective way to convince the government to investigate. This effort is very important. The government has limited resources and can only pursue a limited number of whistleblower cases and claims.
We work collaboratively with the government based on our decades of experience to produce the best results for our whistleblower clients, doing whatever work it takes to strengthen the government’s case and determine damages. A federal judge aptly described our work with government enforcement officials as a “collaboration of a group of impressive professionals acting skillfully in concert.”
Once we decide to work on a case, we are committed to achieving the best possible outcome. In qui tam cases, that could mean we will litigate on our own if the government decides not to intervene. After a case is resolved and funds are paid to the government, we then compile a strong case to convince the government to give our clients the highest possible whistleblower award.
