Alabama SEC Whistleblower Attorneys

The Law Firm of David R. Chase and the Silver Law Group have come together in a strategic alliance to assist those submitting tips to the SEC Office of the Whistleblower. Our combined skills and knowledge can give you the edge. Whether you're an employee or a concerned citizen, we can help. Contact us if you have credible information about violations of federal securities laws such as Ponzi schemes, market manipulation, investor fraud, or unregistered securities offerings. Our team specializes in representing SEC whistleblowers in Alabama, nationwide, and globally. With experienced attorneys on hand – including a former SEC Enforcement attorney – we have a deep understanding of how the Commission handles tips, investigations, and enforcement actions. Let us help you maximize your potential award.

If your information contributes to an SEC enforcement action resulting in over $1 million, you could receive an award ranging from 10 to 30 percent of the collected amount. However, it's important to understand that the Commission doesn't investigate most tips, and strict guidelines may affect reward eligibility. The stress of stepping forward can also be a barrier. That's why engaging a seasoned SEC whistleblower law firm is so important to assert your claim, safeguard your potential compensation, and maintain your anonymity.

Thanks to the Commission's incentive-driven approach, there has been a surge in enforcement actions. Between 2020 and 2023, we saw the record for whistleblower awards broken twice, with whistleblowers receiving $114 million and $279 million, respectively. Since the inception of the SEC program, whistleblower tips have resulted in over $6 billion in remedies, with $2 billion going directly to whistleblowers who provided valuable information.

As mentioned earlier, SEC whistleblowers residing in Huntsville, Birmingham, Montgomery, or any other part of Alabama stand to receive between 10 and 30 percent of the proceeds from successful enforcement actions exceeding $1 million. While these potential rewards may incentivize whistleblowers, there are specific eligibility criteria, including:

• Timeliness: Whistleblowers must provide information to the SEC before it initiates action on a particular violation. Only voluntary disclosures are eligible for consideration.
• Significance: The amount of financial compensation awarded to whistleblowers hinges on the depth of their knowledge regarding alleged violations and internal reporting systems, among other factors. Providing comprehensive and detailed information can lead to a larger reward.
• Originality: While the Commission does not mandate whistleblowers to exhaust internal reporting channels, they must possess firsthand information to support enforcement actions. However, if a whistleblower initially reports internally, their percentage of the award may be augmented.

While significant financial incentives and a sense of civic responsibility can serve as strong motivators, stepping into the whistleblower role presents formidable challenges. It's common for individuals who expose wrongdoing to face retaliation from their employers, particularly when reporting independently. Despite the effort invested, not all claims brought to the attention of the SEC are pursued.

Despite these risks, you can confidently proceed with submitting your tip by engaging the services of our experienced Alabama whistleblower law firm. We specialize in representing individuals who have uncovered securities violations, such as:
