Robert W. Liles has worked in regulatory compliance as a Federal prosecutor and as defense counsel, for more than 25 years. This has provided a unique perspective on the challenges faced by clients in highly regulated industries such as health care, banking and finance. Robert focuses his practice on fraud defense, internal audits, investigations, compliance and regulatory matters. He has represented both individuals and entities in administrative and civil proceedings and in connection with internal compliance reviews. Robert has achieved an “AV” rating by Martindale-Hubbell, the highest rating that may be awarded to an attorney. He has also been rated “10.0” (out of a possible 10.0) by AVVO, a nationwide attorney rating service.
Robert first began working in management after receiving both a Master’s Degree in Business Administration and, subsequently, a Master’s Degree in Health Care Administration. After graduating from law school, he was hired as an Assistant United States Attorney (AUSA) in the Southern District of Texas (SDTX). While serving as an AUSA, Robert worked out of the Houston office of the U.S. Attorney’s Office and primarily handled False Claims Act matters and cases. He was later promoted to serve as Chief of the Financial Litigation Unit for the SDTX.
Shortly after the passage of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), Robert was asked to serve as the first National Health Care Fraud Coordinator and was later promoted to the position of Deputy Director, Legal Programs, for the Executive Office for U.S. Attorneys (EOUSA), a component of the United States Department of Justice (DOJ). While at EOUSA, he advised AUSAs around the country on civil and criminal fraud statutes, schemes, investigative tools, privacy concerns, and compliance issues. He was instrumental in writing and implementing DOJ guidance on the judicious use of the False Claims Act. Robert’s work was recognized by DOJ and he was given numerous awards by the agency for his efforts, one of which was a “Director’s Award,” the highest award that can be bestowed by the agency.
Since entering private practice, Robert has continued to build on his knowledge and experience in regulatory matters. He has represented individuals and entities around the country in a wide variety of regulatory, audit and compliance projects. He has also represented health care providers in connection with government regulatory investigations and audits by UPICs, ZPICs, SMERCs, RACs and reviews by SIUs working for private payor plans.
Robert’s health care management education / background and his prior experience as a federal prosecutor provide a real-world perspective when advising individuals and entities on enforcement and regulatory compliance issues.
