Brown LLC expands Pennsylvania office after senior federal hires

Brown, LLC moved its Pennsylvania office to a larger Wayne space after adding two former federal enforcement leaders to its whistleblower and False Claims Act team in 2026. The expansion comes as the firm points to recent multimillion-dollar recoveries in Medicaid, government contracting and pharmacy fraud cases.

Why it matters: - Brown, LLC is expanding its Philadelphia-area footprint as whistleblower and False Claims Act work continues to drive the firm’s growth. - The larger office gives the national law firm more room for attorneys, staff and private client meetings. - The move follows high-profile hires and recent recoveries that strengthen the firm’s federal fraud practice.

What happened: - Brown, LLC relocated its Pennsylvania office to 1200 Liberty Ridge Drive, Suite 120, Wayne, Pennsylvania 19087. - The firm had already maintained an office in Wayne for several years. - The new space is larger and is meant to support the firm’s existing presence in the Philadelphia region. - The expansion follows the 2026 hires of Tom Morris, formerly Senior Trial Counsel in the U.S. Department of Justice’s Civil Division Fraud Section, and Raphael Katz, formerly Civil Chief at the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of New Hampshire. - Both attorneys joined Brown, LLC’s national whistleblower and False Claims Act team.

The details: - Jason T. Brown said the expansion is about adding experience and resources for people who report fraud. - Brown, LLC said the Pennsylvania office needed to match the firm’s growth in lawyers and cases. - The firm represents whistleblowers and employees and regularly litigates in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania and federal courts nationwide. - Brown, LLC handles matters involving Medicare and Medicaid fraud, pharmaceutical fraud, defense contractor fraud, government procurement fraud and customs fraud. - The firm’s recent Texas matters included a $7.5 million Medicaid settlement involving Tris Pharma announced on October 2, 2026. - Brown, LLC said the $7.5 million deal, together with a related $41.5 million settlement involving Pfizer and Tris Pharma, produced $49 million in combined recoveries. - Brown, LLC represented the whistleblower in both Texas matters. - The $7.5 million settlement resolved disputed allegations, and the defendants denied wrongdoing. - The firm also worked on the Raytheon matter, which was resolved as part of a $428 million False Claims Act settlement in 2024 involving government contracting. - That civil settlement was part of a broader DOJ resolution exceeding $950 million. - Raytheon made admissions in the civil settlement, including overcharging the government and double billing. - Brown, LLC represented a whistleblower in the Walgreens matter, which DOJ announced in April 2025 as a $300 million settlement over unlawful controlled-substance prescriptions and false claims to federal healthcare programs. - The Walgreens settlement terms included an additional $50 million if a qualifying sale, merger or transfer occurred before fiscal year 2032. - The settled Walgreens claims were allegations, with no determination of liability. - The Texas cases were State of Texas ex rel. Ahmed v. Tris Pharma, Inc., Cause No. 23-1030, and the related Pfizer and Tris Pharma matter, Cause No. 23-1031, both in the 71st Judicial District Court of Harrison County, Texas. - The Walgreens matter was United States ex rel. Awa v. Walgreens Boots Alliance, et al., No. 1:23-cv-1617 in the Northern District of Illinois, consolidated into United States ex rel. Novak v. Walgreens, et al., No. 1:18-cv-05452. - The Raytheon matter was No. 21-cv-10690-PBS.

Between the lines: - Brown, LLC is pairing office expansion with senior federal hiring to deepen its credibility in whistleblower cases. - The firm’s recent recoveries give the Pennsylvania expansion a concrete business rationale beyond local office space needs. - False Claims Act work remains a national practice area where federal enforcement experience can be a competitive advantage. - The release also uses the recent settlements to signal the scale of the firm’s results to potential whistleblowers and referral sources.

What's next: - Brown, LLC is likely to use the larger Wayne office to support more federal fraud and retaliation matters. - The firm said it will continue representing whistleblowers in False Claims Act, SEC, CFTC, IRS, anti-money laundering, wage-and-hour and employment cases. - The office expansion positions Brown, LLC for continued litigation in Pennsylvania and other federal venues.
