Why Use a Whistleblower Lawyer
While the SEC Whistleblower Program permits individuals to file tips without legal representation, the Commission does not allow whistleblowers to file anonymously without legal representation–which is the best protection against retaliation and blacklisting.
Every month, the Securities and Exchange Commission receives thousands of tips (averaging more than 40,000 annually), but only a few thousand can be investigated at any one time, and those investigations often take years to complete. And, every year, hundreds of applications for award are denied for technical reasons. Sophisticated SEC whistleblowers understand this and do everything in their power to improve their odds.
Our clients tend to be senior executives who don’t view their cases as DIY legal projects. They believe that high-stakes and high-profile cases are better handled by legal subject matter experts, who can increase the probability of their success and the size of their future whistleblower award. To ensure that our clients’ cases get the attention that they deserve, we leverage our unique insider knowledge, securities enforcement experience, and long-standing relationships with the leaders of the SEC’s Enforcement Division.
How Our SEC Whistleblower Lawyers Outperform Standard Legal Representation
We are a low-volume, ultra-selective whistleblower practice. Our past successes allow us to be patient; typically, we accept fewer than 12 SEC cases each year. This selectivity allows us to focus on significant, precedent-setting matters and to provide our clients 24/7 VIP service.
Unlike other whistleblower practices that have little or no securities experience, we have been successfully prosecuting securities cases for decades, including as Assistant Directors and Chief Litigation Counsel in the SEC’s Division of Enforcement.
We also understand the official and unofficial rules of the game. After all, members of our team helped draft the laws that govern the SEC Whistleblower Program and worked closely with whistleblowers on high-profile cases at the Commission.
Such unique background allows us to anticipate how the Commission will react to specific securities violations and to effectively package our clients’ whistleblower tips. We operate on a contingency fee basis, aligning our success entirely with that of our clients’ future whistleblower awards.

What You Risk by Staying Silent or Delaying a Report
The SEC Whistleblower Program incentivizes individuals to report possible securities violations and penalizes those who delay reporting. If a colleague or the company reports to the SEC first, your eligibility for a monetary award might vanish or the size of your award may be reduced.
Failing to report known securities violations could also increase your risk of being viewed as a participant in the fraud.
