About:
Brian P. McCafferty is an attorney and managing partner at the law firm of Kenney & McCafferty. With over 20 years of experience in handling complex commercial litigation, class action litigation, and employment claims, Mr. McCafferty is a trial tested attorney specializing in SEC whistleblower cases, False Claims Act, tax fraud, class action, and employment litigation, nationwide.
Prior to co-founding Kenney & McCafferty, Mr. McCafferty was the managing partner of the Philadelphia office of Texas-based class action powerhouse Provost Umphrey, LLP. Serving as co-counsel in the landmark False Claims Act case involving oil royalties, Mr. McCafferty ultimately assisted in the recovery of over $440 million for the federal government from the oil industry. He has also handled numerous False Claims Act cases involving defense contractor fraud and Medicare fraud.
In addition to his False Claims Act practice, Mr. McCafferty has served as counsel in a series of notable cases resulting in the recovery of more than $50 million in verdicts and settlements under the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act. These cases, brought by Mr. McCafferty on behalf of hourly workers, have resulted in the recovery of significant overtime pay for time spent by the workers putting on and removing protective equipment, so-called “donning and doffing” cases.
