New York City Whistle Blower Law Firm
Are you looking for a New York City whistle blower law firm that can guide you through the process of being an SEC whistle blower? Is it important to you that the SEC whistleblower attorney representing you has prior SEC whistleblower program experience?
These are a couple of questions you should ask yourself, before hiring an SEC whistleblower lawyer and beginning the process of becoming an SEC whistleblower. A primary reason for hiring a New York City whistle blower law firm is to utilize the knowledge and experience they have to help you achieve your goals in reporting to the SEC, which may range from righting a mistake, to preventing fraud, to having the best chance of being granted an SEC whistleblower award.
Often, a whistleblower’s motivations are derived from more than just the prospect of receiving an SEC whistleblower reward. Nevertheless, you should be aware that if the SEC achieves a successful outcome to an investigation that it undertakes, as a result of the information you provide, you could be eligible for a monetary award. If the amount that the SEC obtains from the violators, whether through settlement or a court victory, exceeds $1 million, the SEC whistleblower statute mandates that an award of between 10-30% of the total collected by the SEC must be granted to any eligible SEC whistleblower(s).
There are, however, a number of requirements that must be satisfied to determine eligibility, as well as rules that could bar an otherwise qualified person from receiving an SEC whistleblower award. An experienced SEC whistleblower law firm can help you to understand and meet those requirements and navigate what can be a complicated process.
Another question to ask yourself is: Do you want or need to remain anonymous as an SEC whistleblower? The SEC takes the confidentiality of its whistleblowers very seriously and goes to great lengths to protect their identities. “Confidentiality” means that the SEC will not share your identity with anyone outside of the Commission, with a few limited exceptions. “Anonymity” means that not even the SEC will know your identity when you file your whistle blower tip. In order to remain anonymous, the SEC whistleblower statute and rules require you to hire a lawyer to represent you.
