Getnick Law Receives Top Ranking From Chambers in Whistleblower Representation and False Claims Act: Plaintiff Categories

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Chambers USA’s recently released 2026 guide ranks Getnick Law in the top tier for firms in the United States in the False Claims Act: Plaintiff and Whistleblower Representation categories. Chambers USA also ranked individual Getnick Law partners in the top tier for these categories.

The Band 1 national rankings, Chambers’ highest tier, follows Getnick Law’s inclusion in the Chambers 2024 and 2025 New York Spotlight reports, which highlight the top small and medium-sized firms in the state. This is the second consecutive year Getnick Law received a Band 1 national ranking in the False Claim Act: Plaintiff Category. Whistleblower Representation is a new category in this year’s Chambers USA Guide, and Getnick Law is honored to be among the first firms recognized in this category.

Since 1990, Chambers & Partners has identified and ranked the best law firms and lawyers globally. Getnick Law’s Band 1 national rankings were determined after extensive feedback from lawyer and client interviews conducted by Chambers researchers, which addressed Getnick Law’s practice and reputation.

Getnick Law’s references for the 2026 guide included these accolades:

• "It is a smart, creative and innovative law firm."

• "It's an impressive boutique that achieves very strong results on False Claims Act and tax whistle-blowing matters."

• "Getnick Law's long experience and honed skill set in this industry distinguish it as one of the top firms practicing in this area."

Getnick Law for decades has been a national leader representing whistleblowers under federal and state whistleblower laws and programs, including the federal and state False Claims Acts and the Internal Revenue Service, Securities and Exchange Commission, U.S. Treasury anti-money laundering and sanctions, and other whistleblower programs.

“These top rankings are a great testament to the hard work of everybody at the firm and to our exceptional clients who often must deal with challenging circumstances to bring forward these important cases,” said Neil Getnick.

Getnick Law has recovered more than $1.5 billion for taxpayers through its whistleblower cases and achieved record awards for its clients. The firm has represented whistleblowers in many groundbreaking cases, including a $750 million civil and criminal settlement with a multinational pharmaceutical company for manufacturing and selling adulterated drugs to government health plans. This resulted in the then-largest award to a single whistleblower for Getnick Law’s client.

In 2024, Getnick Law and co-counsel represented a whistleblower in a groundbreaking $263 million tax fraud recovery from an individual taxpayer. Its client and the two other whistleblowers in the matter received a 30% award – the highest possible under the IRS Whistleblower Program. This settlement is one of the largest tax whistleblower cases ever. Getnick Law has now brought its expertise combatting tax fraud to His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC ) in the United Kingdom, which launched a tax reward program in November 2025.

Getnick Law is a premier, New York-based, boutique law firm fighting fraud and promoting business integrity by representing whistleblowers under federal and state laws, conducting complex investigations and litigation, and counseling commercial clients throughout the country and internationally.
