Today’s legal and regulatory landscape is more fraught with risk than ever before. To survive—and thrive—in this challenging environment, sophisticated companies must have robust, proactive, and effective compliance programs in place.
Practice Area
Government Program Fraud, False Claims Act & Qui Tam Litigation
Investigations and litigation involving alleged fraud against the government pose a significant and growing threat to organizations and individuals across all industries that engage directly or indirectly in business with federal, state, and/or local governments. The government makes aggressive use of its extensive criminal and civil investigatory powers to root out alleged fraud and abuse implicating government funds, including one of its most powerful civil enforcement tools—the federal False Claims Act (FCA)—and similar state false claims statutes.

Law Glossary
What Is Performance-Based Compensation?
Performance-based compensation (PBC) is a system for rewarding employees financially, outside of their regular salaries. The financial compensation is based on how individual employees, departments, the company, or the company’s stock price performs during a specific time frame and in accordance with pre-determined goals set by the organization. These programs may also be called Pay-For-Performance systems. Companies who utilize these systems must be prepared to define and track performance, as well as provide compensation, such as bonuses, when objectives are met according to benchmarks. The supplemental income will also have tax implications for employees.
