FAQ

  • Will I be protected as an SEC whistleblower?

    Yes. Whistleblowers are protected by various laws and regulations.


    In SEC whistleblower matters, the agency seeks to protect the anonymity of whistleblowers and will not disclose the name or identifying information of a whistleblower in the event of a pre-litigation settlement. If the matter litigates, and the whistleblower is called as a witness, the whistleblower’s identify might become known at that point.


    It is also against the law for companies to retaliate against an employee for reporting wrongdoing. 


    Some whistleblowers worry that exposing fraud could jeopardize their jobs or careers. Fortunately, the law provides strong protections against employer retaliation. 


    These protections make it illegal to terminate, demote, harass, or otherwise punish whistleblowers. 

  • What type of reward will I receive?

    Your financial reward for a successful case will vary by the type of claim and size of the fraud. 


    A whistleblower whose information results in a recovery of over $1 million can receive 10-30% of any judgment, and some rewards have been in the tens of millions of dollars.  

  • How do I pay for my lawyers?

    You pay us nothing unless you receive a whistleblower reward.


    We work on what’s called a contingency fee basis. That means we as a law firm are only compensated if you receive a reward. Our fee is a percentage of your reward. 


    You’ll never get a monthly bill from us. What you’ll get are experienced and zealous advocates fighting fraud by your side.

  • Do I have a viable claim?

    It’s important to seek legal counsel from a skilled and experienced whistleblower lawyer to help determine if you have a viable claim. 


    Whistleblower claims have unusual and detailed legal requirements that vary by the type of claim. This can be a complex determination, and one that we guide clients through during an initial free consultation. 


    It’s important to note that in all cases you will need to have evidence of fraud that is specific and can be corroborated through investigation.

  • Why should I report fraud?

    If you are aware of securities fraud, filing a complaint with the SEC gives you the opportunity to bring the fraud to the attention of the government, which may force the company to comply with the law and protect others who may be impacted by the fraud. 


    Filing a whistleblower case also may entitle you to receive a monetary reward.


    Every year, tens of billions of taxpayer dollars are lost due to corporate fraud. Whistleblowers play a critical role in uncovering these frauds. 


    It takes courage to speak up. Lawmakers recognize this and have created both powerful financial incentives to encourage whistleblowers to come forward and strong protections for those whistleblowers.
