Venable partner Seth Rosenthal was quoted in a January 21, 2015 Daily Journal article on investigations and lawsuits against defense contractors. Despite limited success with civil suits, criminal prosecutions brought by the federal government have helped recoup millions and likely billions of dollars gained through fraudulent means.
"It's not a fact that there's an uptick in defense contractor prosecutions, but there's certainly aggressive investigations into the behavior of government contractors," said Rosenthal. "The contracting community is definitely on notice about it."
