Jeremy Abay
Lichten & Liss-Riordan, P.C.
Jeremy E. Abay, a partner at Lichten & Liss-Riordan P.C., represents whistleblowers, workers, consumers, and other plaintiffs in high-stakes litigation in state and federal courts. His practice covers healthcare fraud (qui tam), wage litigation, and consumer fraud. He has obtained multimillion-dollar settlements for taxpayers, misclassified workers, and victims of consumer fraud.
Mr. Abay has served as lead counsel in several groundbreaking cases alleging the misclassification of employees as independent contractors. In fact, he served as trial counsel in the first worker misclassification case against a gig-economy company to reach a federal jury trial. By obtaining precedential appellate court opinions, Mr. Abay has helped reshape the law towards protecting low wage workers.
Mr. Abay has also pioneered False Claims Act liability based on Medicare and Medicaid secondary payer violations. He brought the first qui tam case to successfully argue that an auto insurer could be liable under the False Claims Act for causing Medicare and Medicaid to pay claims before no-fault insurance. After the government declined to intervene, Mr. Abay reached a multimillion-dollar settlement with the auto insurer.
Mr. Abay has been recognized as a Pennsylvania Rising Star in Class Action Litigation by Super Lawyers. He is also a member of The Legal Intelligencer’s Young Lawyer Editorial Board. As a member of New Jersey’s District IV Ethics Committee, Mr. Abay is also responsible for investigating and prosecuting attorney ethics violations in Camden County.
Mr. Abay is also an adjunct professor at Rutgers Law School, where he teaches Employment Law in the Gig Economy, Whistleblower Advocacy, and Deposition Advocacy. He has also guest lectured in the business torts seminar. Before his legal career, Mr. Abay worked at Johnson & Johnson and Barclay’s Capital, where he gained unique insight into corporate compliance programs.
