  • Draft motions, legal briefs, responses to CIDs, and trial documents

  • Conduct high-level legal research and strategic analysis of federal investigations

  • Provide legal counsel to clients facing indictments or civil fraud allegations

  • Attend federal court hearings, trial, and pre-trial proceedings as necessary

  • Collaborate with managing attorneys and legal team on case planning and execution

Required Qualifications

  • Demonstrated experience handling:

    • Healthcare fraud investigations

    • Medicare and Medicaid fraud defense

    • Qui tam lawsuits & whistleblower defense

    • Government contract fraud (preferred, not required)

Preferred Background


  • Former federal prosecutor, AUSA, DOJ trial attorney, or military JAG

  • Experience with OIG subpoenas, HHS investigations, or administrative healthcare proceedings

  • Ability to work independently with minimal oversight

How to Apply


Please submit your resume along with a cover letter explaining your litigation experience, past government roles (if applicable), and the specific types of healthcare fraud or FCA cases you’ve handled.
