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.

Florida CHOICE Act Allows for Easier Enforcement of Noncompete and Garden Leave Agreements
Many states have recently passed legislation making it more difficult for employers to enforce restrictive covenants against their departing employees. On April 24, 2025, the Florida legislature bucked this trend by passing the Florida Contracts Honoring Opportunity, Investment, Confidentiality, and Economic Growth (CHOICE) Act, which allows for easier enforcement of covered garden leave and noncompete agreements and extends the maximum enforceable period for such agreements to four years. Despite some public opposition to the CHOICE Act, Governor DeSantis did not sign or veto it, which resulted in the CHOICE Act becoming law on July 3, 2025.
