Moore & Van Allen (MVA) Litigation Members Jenny Sugar and Tanisha Palvia co-authored the Bloomberg Law article titled “False Claims Act Expands Scope to Immigration in Federal Work.” The article examines the Department of Justice’s expanding use of the False Claims Act (FCA) to pursue federal contractors alleged to have employed unauthorized workers, treating such conduct as a potential false certification of compliance with immigration laws.
