Comments from White Collar Defense and Government Investigations Practice Co-chair Eóin Beirne and Associate Grady Campion were featured in a Law360 Healthcare Authority article previewing oral arguments in an Eleventh Circuit case challenging the False Claims Act’s whistleblower provisions. Depending on how the circuit panel approaches the issues, the matter could ultimately reach the Supreme Court.

Discussing the dynamic of the panel, Eóin comments, “We will be watching to hear whether Judge Branch is on board with the appellees’ position and assists during argument to persuade her colleagues on the panel.”

“The hearing should be fascinating. One thing to consider during the arguments: Is counsel speaking to the judges or the justices?” Grady adds.
