The award, recognizing extraordinary contributions to the YRNF by a Young Republican male leader over the past year, cited Ross’s work as General Counsel for the national association, a position he has served in since 2019. Ross also serves as chair of the Pennsylvania chapter of the Republican National Lawyers Association and General Counsel for the Philadelphia Republican City Committee.

“Ross has led our legal team for more than three years and in that time has been an extremely valuable resource,” said YRNF chairman Rick Loughery in presenting the award. “He has helped us navigate various legal and compliance issues political organizations encounter.”

Ross represents clients in a wide range of complex commercial and consumer disputes, including consumer and insurance fraud, whistleblower actions, healthcare disputes, securities, class actions, and general business litigation.

A lifelong Philadelphian, Ross earned his J.D. from the George Washington University Law School and his B.S. from Catholic University of America. He is a graduate of Monsignor Bonner High School. Ross resides in South Philadelphia with his wife and son.

Kovalsky told Law360 that she, Wolfe and Kang had worked recently on a large opioid case where the government intervened after a whistleblower complaint. She said that case made it clear the firm could really make a name for itself, weeding out fraud and misconduct through helping whistleblowers bring similar cases, especially in the opioids and health care spaces.

“The opioid epidemic and health care fraud generally, is something we’re particularly interested in and is an area where we feel like we can make a difference for whistleblowers, holding corporate defendants and their executives accountable,” she said.

Wolfe said he’s expecting to see more qui tam cases emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic, especially with fraud related to the COVID relief money distributed as a result of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security, or CARES, Act.
