Whistleblowing is the act of exposing unethical, illegal, or fraudulent activities within organizations, serving as a vital mechanism for combating corruption and safeguarding public interest. At Miller Shah LLP, we recognize the critical importance of whistleblowers and are dedicated to supporting individuals who courageously step forward to report wrongdoing. Our Philadelphia whistleblower attorneys support clients throughout the whistleblowing process, including by offering dependable legal services to those facing retaliation from their employer for speaking out.
Whistleblowers who shed light on wrongdoing within their companies or organizations are often at risk of retaliation, making the decision to come forward a challenging one. Recognizing this, various laws, including the False Claims Act, Dodd-Frank Act, and state-specific statutes, have been enacted with specific provisions to protect whistleblowers. These laws not only prohibit retaliation but also provide mechanisms for whistleblowers to seek justice.
The whistleblower attorneys at Miller Shah put these legal protections to work for you. Our knowledgeable team can guide you through the process of filing a qui tam lawsuit, enabling you to potentially receive a portion of any government-recovered funds as recognition for your contributions to justice. Although qui tam provisions can be complex, our extensive experience in handling such cases will enable you to navigate the legal landscape with confidence and security.
Navigating the complexities of whistleblower cases demands a deep understanding of the relevant legal framework. In addition to the False Claims Act and Dodd-Frank Act, whistleblower lawsuits may be brought under the the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act (FIRREA), the Financial Institutions Anti-Fraud Enforcement Act (FIAFEA) and the Internal Revenue Service’s whistleblower program. Each of these schemes have criteria regarding a whistleblower’s role, eligibility, and knowledge, the potential reward available, and the statute of limitations for brining a claim.
Exposing fraud against the government is a noble but daunting task that requires significant legal experience. The process involves navigating complex legal systems, gathering compelling evidence, coordinating with the appropriate government agency, and engaging in protracted litigation, often for many years. Whistleblower cases challenge practices in some of the most powerful industries, including pharmaceuticals, construction, defense, and other multi-billion dollar sectors. Thus, comprehensive legal support is vital at all stages of the whistleblower process.
The complexity of whistleblower cases underscores the necessity of experienced legal representation. The legal team at Miller Shah is skilled in whistleblower protection, and our impressive track record in whistleblower recoveries speaks for itself.
In addition to our unwavering commitment to achieving the best possible outcomes, our national and international presence uniquely positions us to handle whistleblower cases across various jurisdictions. The Miller Shah approach is client-centric, focusing on understanding and fulfilling the specific needs and objectives of each individual we represent. We pride ourselves on fostering a team-oriented environment that encourages creativity and excellence, ensuring that every client receives personalized attention and high-quality representation.
