New York Dodd Frank Attorneys

Whistleblowing is a courageous step that individuals can take to expose fraud in the securities industry.  However, it often comes with significant personal and professional risks. Fortunately, the Dodd-Frank Act offers crucial protections and rewards for those who report securities violations, fraud, or misconduct within publicly traded companies.

Navigating the complexities of whistleblower provisions can feel overwhelming without the right guidance. The New York Dodd Frank attorneys at Miller Shah are proud to serve whistleblowers as they provide an important public service and make the markets more reliable for all. 

Understanding the Dodd-Frank Whistleblower Program

The Dodd-Frank Act, passed in 2010, created a whistleblower program that incentivizes reporting of securities fraud, insider trading, bribery, and other violations through the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Eligible whistleblowers who provide original, valuable information about misconduct that leads to a successful SEC enforcement action can receive financial awards ranging from 10% to 30% of the recovered funds, provided the sanctions exceed $1 million.

This program also includes strong anti-retaliation provisions, safeguarding employees from discrimination, demotion, or dismissal related to their whistleblowing activities.

Risks of Becoming a Whistleblower

While the Dodd-Frank Act provides legal protections and rewards, potential whistleblowers often face complex challenges:

• Fear of Retaliation: Despite legal safeguards, many worry about employer retaliation, loss of job security, or damaged professional reputations.
• Legal Complexities: Filing a case requires adherence to strict procedural rules, evidence submission, satisfying eligibility criteria, and meeting deadlines.
• Emotional Toll: The decision to report misconduct can cause stress and anxiety, particularly for employees working within the organization involved in the misconduct.

Miller Shah understands these challenges and is here to alleviate these concerns while advocating for your rights.

How New York Dodd Frank Attorneys Can Help

Working with an experienced legal team can make all the difference when navigating the intricate world of whistleblower claims.  A dedicated attorney provides guidance, legal acumen and emotional reassurance throughout the case, and can help whistleblowers take advantage of certain aspects of the legal framework. For instance, the Dodd-Frank Act allows whistleblowers to maintain anonymity if they are represented by counsel, thus allowing whistleblowers who partner with attorneys to safeguard their identities and mitigate concerns about retaliation.

Similarly, an attorney can craft a compelling submission with verified evidence and properly structured documentation, increasing the likelihood of securing financial awards.  Working with experienced counsel streamlines the whistleblowing process, providing unwavering support through each stage, from filing a claim to facilitating communications with the SEC.
