The Civil False Claims Act is one of the most potent tools the federal government has at its disposal in negotiating with or litigating against contractors. Because of increased contract spending, the federal government has increased its focus on contractor ethics. Today, the government or a whistleblower may successfully litigate under the False Claims Act whether or not the contractor intended to defraud the government.
