Lawsuit financing for qui tam claims.

If you filed a qui tam (False Claims Act) case or a whistleblower claim and the process is dragging on, funding can help you stay financially stable while your case moves.

This is non-recourse funding in many jurisdictions. That means repayment comes only from the case proceeds if your matter resolves successfully. If the case does not recover, there is obligation to repay us.

To review your file, we coordinate directly with your attorney. 

We also offer litigation financing for law firms in select fraud-related matters. Case fit and availability depend on the facts, posture, and documentation.

What is a qui tam claim?

The term “qui tam” is short for a Latin phrase that roughly means a private person can sue on behalf of the government — and share in the recovery if the case succeeds.

A qui tam claim is a lawsuit typically brought under the False Claims Act (FCA) alleging a person or company defrauded the U.S. government (for example, billing fraud involving federal healthcare programs or government contracts).

In FCA cases, the whistleblower is called the relator. If the case succeeds, the relator can receive a share of the recovery. In general, if the government intervenes, the relator’s share is often 15%–25%. If the government declines and the relator proceeds, it can be 25%–30%.

Separately, some whistleblower matters fall under programs like the SEC whistleblower program, which can involve confidentiality protections and awards when information leads to a successful enforcement action.

FCA/SEC whistleblower cases vs. retaliation claims

A qui tam (FCA) case is about government fraud recovery. A retaliation claim (for example, termination or demotion after reporting wrongdoing) is a different legal track that may be handled under separate employment and whistleblower protection laws.

Many whistleblowers deal with both at once: a long fraud investigation plus immediate income loss. That’s where lawsuit funding can help — not by replacing your legal strategy, but by helping you cover real life while your case plays out.

Qui tam and whistleblower matters can take months or years. If you’re out of work, facing retaliation, or carrying heavy legal and living costs, funding can reduce pressure to take an early, discounted resolution.

We've got your back with whistleblower lawsuit funding.

We fund many whistleblower matters, including allegations involving healthcare billing fraud (Medicare/Medicaid), defense contractor fraud, securities and commodities violations, education services fraud, and financial or investment misconduct. Availability depends on case strength, counsel involvement, and underwriting.

No. Our agreements are structured as non-recourse legal funding, meaning repayment is tied to case proceeds if the case succeeds.

Funding amounts vary, and it could go  up to 10% of your case value. Some cases may support larger funding when liability, damages, and collectability are strong.

A relator’s share is the whistleblower’s portion of an FCA recovery. In general, ranges can be 15%–25% if the government intervenes and 25%–30% if it does not.

Lawsuit funding should not change your legal strategy. Your attorney stays in control of litigation decisions, and you decide whether legal financing makes sense for your situation.

Results vary widely, and past outcomes don’t predict future outcomes. That said, these public announcements show the scale these matters can reach:
