Whistleblower Cases

Hagens Berman is a plaintiff-focused law firm dedicated to helping consumers, investors, inventors, workers, whistleblowers and others take on large corporations over important issues. The firm has expanded its existing False Claims Act practice to include a number of new whistleblower laws passed by the U.S. Congress and several state legislatures.

The firm is well-positioned to litigate cases in these areas, as it has significant experience in related areas of the law. For instance, unlike some smaller qui tam firms who lack the resources to take on large corporations, Hagens Berman’s size and expertise enable it to engage even the biggest companies in sustained litigation, sometimes lasting years. The firm is willing to litigate if it believes the case is strong, even in instances where the government has chosen not to intervene in the case.

Also unlike traditional qui tam firms, Hagens Berman has attorneys on staff who are proven experts at securities law. The firm has won several ground-breaking settlements on behalf of investors against publicly traded companies and large investment firms.

The firm also has proven experience in off-label marketing cases, making it a reliable partner for qui tam cases brought against the pharmaceutical industry regarding off-label claims.
