On July 17, Sofia Calabrese moderated The Anti-Fraud Coalition (TAF) YLD War Stories webinar. The webinar centered around the Fesenmaier case and featured Chandra Napora and Jonathan Lischak of Morgan Verkamp, who were instrumental in securing the $487 Million judgment against Defendants Cameron-Ehlen Group, Inc. dba Precision Lens and its owner Paul Ehlen for violations of the False Claims Act and Anti-Kickback Statute. The judgment is the largest judgment entered under the False Claims Act.

TAF is a public interest, non-profit organization dedicated to defending and empowering whistleblowers who expose fraud on the government and the financial markets.

 

The Federal Bar Association blog recently published, Immersed in Knowledge and Passion: A Young Lawyer’s First Federal Bar Association Qui Tam Conference, authored by Kang Haggerty associate Sofia Calabrese.

In the post, Sofia writes about the experience as a first-time attendee at the conference, and her takeaways in “immersing herself” in the world of the whistleblower practice.

The Federal Bar Association (FBA), founded in 1920, is dedicated to the advancement of the science of jurisprudence and to promoting the welfare, interests, education, and professional development of all attorneys involved in federal law. FBA members run the gamut of federal practice: attorneys practicing in small to large legal firms, attorneys in corporations and federal agencies, and members of the judiciary. The FBA is the catalyst for communication between the bar and the bench, as well as the private and public sectors.
