Connecticut SEC Whistleblower Attorneys

At the Silver Law Group and the Law Firm of David R. Chase, we represent SEC whistleblowers with information about federal securities law violations in Connecticut, nationwide, and abroad. Our strategic alliance of experienced attorneys has created a team that understands the SEC whistleblower process inside and out, helping you submit a tip to the SEC Office of the Whistleblower that has the greatest chance of success. Contact us today if you have significant, timely, and original information regarding violations of law by your employer. Becoming an SEC whistleblower serves the public interest and may financially award you a substantial percentage of funds resulting from a successful enforcement action.

Attempting to submit a tip to the SEC Office of the Whistleblower on your own may be difficult due to the strict rules regarding award eligibility. Working with our experienced team, which includes a former SEC enforcement attorney, helps protect you during the whistleblower process and increases the chances the SEC will take action based on your tip.

SEC whistleblowers in Bridgeport, New Haven, Stamford, or other areas of Connecticut may be at risk of employer retaliation when they come forward with information. Working with our SEC whistleblower attorneys can help protect your identity, keep you safe from retaliation, and ensure the Commission doesn't ignore your tip. 

The SEC is interested in many different types of securities violations, including but not limited to:

• Ponzi schemes
• FCPA violations
• Offerings of unregistered or fraudulent securities
• EB-5 investment fraud
• Market manipulation
• Stockbroker misconduct
• Internal non-compliance
• Accounting fraud by publicly traded companies
• Hedge fund fraud
• Futures fraud
• Foreign bribery

The strategic alliance between the Silver Law Group and the Law Firm of David R. Chase was created to represent potential SEC whistleblowers in Connecticut and elsewhere in the country as they come forward with information about securities fraud. Our experienced team can hear your information and identify even more potential violations that the SEC will want to know about.

Since the SEC adopted a new program in 2011, whistleblowers have been more incentivized than ever to come forward. The record for a payment to a singular whistleblower is an astronomical $279 million, and the Commission has awarded over $2 billion in total to various whistleblowers with information about securities violations.

Changes to the program in FY 2022 resulted in the SEC increasing potential awards. Whistleblowers will now be awarded even for non-SEC actions, and the Commission can only consider the dollar amount of potential awards to increase awards to whistleblowers, but not to lower them.  

Successful SEC enforcement action can award whistleblowers between 10 and 30 percent of actions exceeding $1 million. Despite this considerable incentive, there are still narrow rules of eligibility that whistleblowers must meet when submitting information, including:

• Timely information: Whistleblowers must submit information to the SEC before they begin enforcement actions or investigations. All information given to the Commission must also be voluntary, not influenced by court orders.
• Original information: Whistleblowers must provide first-hand information that results in enforcement actions, but they do not need to have exhausted internal reporting channels. Internal reports may increase the award percentage, however.
• Significant information: Award percentage is tied to the knowledge of securities violations and how this information affects the enforcement action. Information that is in-depth and descriptive will result in a larger reward.

You can become a Connecticut SEC whistleblower with the help of our experienced SEC whistleblower attorneys. Our team can help provide your valuable information to the Commission in a way that meets their requirements and results in the greatest chance for financial compensation.

Contact us today if you have information regarding federal securities violations that you believe will be instrumental in SEC enforcement action. Our team of SEC whistleblower lawyers, including a former SEC Enforcement attorney, knows what information the Commission needs to succeed in enforcement and result in a financial award.
