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.

Winston represents a class of professional swimmers alleging World Aquatics (WA) violated antitrust laws by blocking their participation in the competing International Swimming League. After WA won summary judgment, Winston successfully appealed, arguing the court applied improper antitrust standards and wrongly denied certification of a damages class. In September 2024, the Ninth Circuit reversed both rulings, reviving all claims and issuing a landmark ruling on the possible application of the per se rule or quick look review to sports-associations rules. Am Law awarded Winston “Litigator of the Week” Runner-Up recognition for the win. In November 2024, the Ninth Circuit denied rehearing. In April 2025, the district court certified a damages class.

Law Glossary
Companies make flavor claims and place them on food labels. When companies list taste claims, they must use the correct terms when describing flavors. The FDA even defines how taste claims and flavor labels are used in marketing. If a flavor is improved or created by the addition of other ingredients, then an explanation of this is required. For example, “cherry” is used to describe a flavor that comes from real cherries. However, “cherry-flavored with other artificial flavors” might be needed if a blend of flavors was used.
