SEC Whistleblower Lawyers – Philadelphia

Home/SEC Whistleblower Lawyers – Philadelphia

Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) whistleblowers play a crucial role in maintaining the integrity of financial markets by reporting securities law violations. Miller Shah LLP is dedicated to assisting these brave individuals, helping them understand their rights as whistleblowers and ensuring they receive the protection they deserve. Our SEC whistleblower lawyers in Philadelphia offer comprehensive support, helping individuals navigate the complexities of securities law.

Understanding SEC Whistleblower Protections

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act significantly expanded protections for SEC whistleblowers. Under this legislation, any individual who reports a potential securities law violation in writing to the SEC is shielded from retaliation by their employer. These protections are vital in encouraging individuals to come forward without fear of losing their jobs or facing other forms of retribution.

Anti-Retaliation Provisions

Specifically, Dodd-Frank prohibits employers from discharging, demoting, suspending, harassing, or discriminating against employees who report securities law violations. Additionally, the Act provides a private right of action, allowing whistleblowers to sue their employers in federal court if they face retaliation. Successful claimants can obtain double back pay with interest, reinstatement, and reimbursement for litigation costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.

Whistleblower Incentives

Section 21F of the Securities Exchange Act further encourages whistleblowers to come forward by requiring the SEC to pay awards, subject to certain limitations and conditions, to whistleblowers who provide original information about violations of federal securities laws.  Generally speaking, a whistleblower who voluntarily provides the SEC with original information successfully leading to monetary sanctions of over $1 million can recover between 10 and 30 percent of the SEC’s total recovery as an award.

Legal Counsel for Whistleblowers

Navigating the legal landscape as an SEC whistleblower can be daunting. Legal assistance from experienced professionals is essential to safeguarding whistleblowers’ rights and ensuring their cases are handled effectively.  Miller Shah works diligently to gather evidence, file complaints, and represent whistleblowers in court if necessary.

Protecting Against Retaliation

Legal counsel can provide invaluable support in identifying and addressing retaliatory actions taken by employers. Whether a whistleblower faces wrongful termination, demotion, or harassment, the SEC whistleblower attorneys at Miller Shah can take swift action to protect our clients’ interests. 

Mitigating Impediments to Reporting

Beyond retaliation, there are prohibitions against actions that impede whistleblowers from reporting violations. For example, Section 21F-17(a) of the Securities Exchange Act mandates that no agreement or company policy restrict an individual’s ability to communicate with the SEC. The attorneys at Miller Shah can review employment agreements, confidentiality clauses, and company policies to ensure compliance with these regulations, providing clear guidance on legal rights and obligations.

Our team has extensive experience dealing with the nuances of whistleblower cases, ensuring our clients receive the best possible advice and representation at all steps of the process.
