Firsthand Experience in Government Investigations.
Our team of former U.S. government attorneys and officials offer valuable insights into how to persuade the government to conduct investigations into suspect company practices, as our attorneys have previously conducted these very investigations themselves in their former government roles.
Holding Competitors Accountable.
Our firm focuses its whistleblower practice primarily on working with whistleblowers to report complex financial regulatory violations of companies who compete unfairly and illegally. In a number of our cases, the information furnished by our lawyers to authorities has led to significant investigations and legal actions against our client's competitors by:
- U.S. Department of Justice,
- U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission,
- Commodity Futures Trading Commission,
- NASDAQ,
- FINRA,
- Federal Trade Commission, and
- New York State Attorney General's Office.
Optimizing Results for Whistleblowers.
Our clients trust us to deftly navigate the complex scheme of whistleblower rewards and protection in order to optimize their advocacy objectives. We maintain a database of significant reward and protection programs administered by federal and state government for providing information or assistance to law enforcement, including:
- qui tam or False Claims Act rewards from state and federal authorities,
- asset forfeiture sharing programs from the U.S. Department of Justice,
- witness protection programs administered by the U.S. Marshals Service,
- immigration relief programs from the Department of Homeland Security,
- bounty programs from the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission for reporting insider trading of securities, Sarbanes-Oxley whistleblower protection regimes, and
- informant reward programs operated by various agencies, including the FBI, IRS, and U.S. Federal Trade Commission, among others.
