Careful planning amplifies zealous advocacy

This experience allows Kyle to collaborate seamlessly with diverse stakeholders — including special investigation units (SIUs), health care experts, finance and accounting experts, in-house counsel and government enforcement attorneys — to deliver bottom-line results for corporate clients. While the most cost-effective results often stem from early counsel on identifying and preventing fraud, waste and abuse, zealous litigation remains necessary to ensure corporate victims of fraud are justly compensated.
