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.
Practice Area
Securities, M&A & Corporate Governance Litigation
In today’s market, litigators with experience in securities, corporate governance, and M&A-related (collectively, “securities litigation”) matters need to leverage their broad experience to serve as both advocate and as counsel and strategist, focused on helping clients to overcome not just a legal issue but a collective business problem. Given the frequent interplay between things such as corporate-control transactions, public offerings, activist shareholders, the use of complex derivatives and other financial instruments, bad news impacting stock performance, regulatory inquiries and investigations, and insurance coverage, strategic and tactical litigation decisions can have a wide-ranging impact on the success of a given transaction, as well as on companies, their boards, senior management, and advisors.

Winston’s Takeaways from the Final Outbound Investment Rule
On October 28, 2024, the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s (Treasury) Office of Investment Security published the final text of the Outbound Investment Security Program (the Final Rule). The Final Rule will become effective January 2, 2025. Any “Covered Transaction” entered into on or after that date will be subject to the prohibitions and affirmative legal requirements applicable to “U.S. persons” under the Final Rule. As background, the Final Rule is designed to prevent (or in some cases require notification of) U.S. investments in businesses that could benefit a Country of Concern’s semiconductor-manufacturing, artificial intelligence (AI), or quantum-computing capabilities, with a particular focus on investments that would typically be accompanied by intangible benefits such as access to investment and talent networks, enhanced access to additional financing, enhanced standing and prominence, or managerial assistance. Currently, the only designated “Country of Concern” is the People’s Republic of China, including the Special Administrative Regions of Hong Kong and Macau (collectively, China).

What Is the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR)?
The Federal Acquisition Regulation, commonly referred to as “FAR,” is a collection of regulations governing the process by which the federal government purchases products, supplies, and services. The FAR consists of 53 parts, each covering a different aspect of the government procurement process. FAR part 52, for example, provides solicitation provisions and clauses that can (and in some instances must) be inserted into contracts with the government. While the FAR applies to all executive agencies, many agencies, such as the Departments of Defense, State, and Veterans Affairs, have issued their own supplements to the FAR which provide regulatory guidance on contracting issues that are unique to them.
