Represented a luxury yacht sales company in successfully resolving a False Claims Act investigation triggered by allegations of import duty underpayment. Following civil investigative demands from the Department of Justice and involvement of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, our strategic advocacy included educating government attorneys, including the associate chief counsel for U.S. Customs and Border Protection, on the proper application of complex import tax regulations and duty calculation methodologies. The comprehensive defense resulted in the government declining to intervene in the qui tam complaint and the relator voluntarily dismissing the underlying sealed lawsuit with minimal business disruption for the client.
