Phillips and Cohen Revenue and Competitors

Phillips & Cohen LLP has the nation’s most successful practice representing whistleblowers in qui tam cases. Qui tam cases brought by the firm’s lawyers have generated civil and criminal recoveries to the federal government totaling more than $2 billion. Founding partner John R. Phillips worked with Senator Chuck Grassley, a Republican from Iowa, and Congressman Howard Berman, a Democrat from California, to develop amendments to make the False Claims Act a powerful tool to fight fraud against the government. The Civil War-era law had fallen into disuse until Congress strengthened and modernized it in 1986. Phillips & Cohen's roster also includes former government fraud prosecutors, a former U.S. Senate Judiciary counsel, a former U.S. Attorney and experienced litigators recruited from the nation’s top law firms. The firm’s attorneys are nationally recognized experts on whistleblower cases and have frequently been quoted in publications such as The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and the Washington Post. They also serve as speakers at conferences on the False Claims Act, the law’s qui tam provisions, whistleblowers, Medicare fraud, defense contractor fraud and other types of government contract fraud. Several of the firm’s cases have been featured on 60 Minutes.
