Ross O. Silverman, head of the Insurance and Health Care Fraud Litigation group and the Chicago Litigation and Dispute Resolution practice, represents some of the nation’s top insurance companies in matters involving systemic health insurance fraud and Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) claims. He is also a member of the firm’s White Collar Defense, Internal Investigations and Compliance practice, along with more than a dozen other former federal prosecutors. He sits on the firm’s Board of Directors.

Ross concentrates his practice on counseling insurers on claims handling best practices and litigation strategies designed to combat fraud. He also assists clients in proactively creating systems for identifying and avoiding fraud, focusing on minimizing exposure early on. Ross has prosecuted many civil RICO and fraud matters in jurisdictions across the country, leading to well over $25 million in actual recoveries for his clients.

He was appointed by the US Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois to serve as the examiner for two bankruptcy matters, one involving United Airlines and the other involving an international distributor of ionized bracelets.

Before joining the firm, Ross was a trial attorney for the Criminal Section of the Tax Division at the US Department of Justice and served as an Assistant US Attorney in Chicago.
