William Perlstein, co-managing partner of Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr, says a False Claims Act case the firm worked on for nearly 10 years was a success, despite a decision by a federal judge this week cutting the firm’s legal fees.
WilmerHale began representing Richard Miller, a plaintiff acting on behalf of the government under the False Claims Act, in 1999. He provided information to the government that led to several government contractors pleading guilty to fraud. Wiley Rein had represented Miller from 1995 to 1999.
