Aman focuses his practice on compliance counseling, state and federal government investigations, and complex civil litigation and disputes involving regulated industries. He regularly represents hospitals and healthcare companies in defense of qui tam whistleblower litigation involving the False Claims Act (FCA), Stark Law and Anti-Kickback Statute in federal district courts throughout the United States. Aman also advises clients on risk management issues arising in the US and internationally, including compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practice Act (FCPA).

Previously, Aman was a judicial clerk for the Chief Judge Walter S. Felton, Jr., of the Court of Appeals of Virginia. While clerking, he was a member of the National Association of Appellate Court Attorneys and was appointed by Supreme Court of Virginia Chief Justice Leroy R.

Prior to law school, he was a business analyst for the Federal Defense Group of American Management Systems, Inc. While in law school, Aman was an associate editor of the Richmond Journal of Law and the Public Interest, vice president of the Moot Court Board and president of the Student Bar Association.
Aman is also a co-founder of the Sikh Coalition, a civil/human rights nonprofit organization and, in that capacity, has led lobbying efforts in US Congress regarding hate crimes, profiling and workplace and public accommodation discrimination and serves as lead counsel in a multi-year effort to end the US military’s presumptive ban on the service of observant Sikhs and other religious minorities.
