December 29, 20241 yr comment_90545 I have recently seen where the Department of Justice is accepting, and encouraging, attorneys to violate attorney client privilege to launch Qui Tam lawsuits against the clients they have represented. The 15% kickback to the attorneys appears to be working to overcome any ethical or Bar rules considerations. Since this fact is being hidden from the contracting community and public, a government contractor must now be very careful about trusting attorneys with any information that could be used against them later. I'm not sure how this ends up other than to doubly enrich attorneys and give DOJ lawyers a pass on their ethical considerations. We are now in uncharted waters with this behavior by both DOJ and attorneys. To the contracting companies out there: Watch what you say to your attorney. That attorney may use that information to further enrich themselves. Report
