Based in Greenberg Traurig’s San Francisco office, McNiven has a national healthcare government enforcement defense practice. She routinely represents companies in False Claims Act matters (both federal and state) and companies and individuals in criminal healthcare fraud investigations and trials. Her clients rely on her to handle their most challenging government enforcement problems because she is a strong client advocate, whether the matter is criminal, civil, or both. Her understanding of government decision-making is grounded in her 14-year experience as a federal criminal prosecutor, during which time McNiven handled several high-profile corruption prosecutions of federal and state government officials and spearheaded taskforces in the areas of healthcare fraud, financial fraud, and bankruptcy fraud. She served as a criminal healthcare fraud coordinator in the Chicago U.S. Attorney’s Office for over six years, established that district’s HEAT Taskforce, and handled numerous parallel investigations.
