Kentucky SEC Whistleblower Attorneys

When you're aware of federal securities violations or have significant information regarding allegations, we will prepare you to become an SEC whistleblower. Kentucky's whistleblowers not only get the respect of working in the public's interest but are also eligible for financial awards, which can be substantial—from 10 to 30 percent of the amount recovered beyond $1 million. When you contact the Silver Law Group and the Law Firm of David R. Chase, you'll learn how to achieve the best outcome possible.

Our strategic alliance works with company employees and insiders in Kentucky, and nationwide submitting tips to the SEC Office of the Whistleblower. We protect your rights during the process and safeguard you from its challenges. Moreover, your compensation will depend on these critical factors:

• How you submit a tip
• The pace of the SEC investigation
• Your cooperation and representation

Despite the tension of submitting a tip, an investigation isn't a guarantee. However, the chance of an investigation increases with us involved, as we're staffed with a former SEC Enforcement Attorney. We will assert your rights, like claiming the awards you deserve and remaining anonymous throughout the process.

Since 2011, the SEC's Whistleblower Program has recovered over $6 billion through successful enforcement actions on stock market manipulation, Ponzi schemes, insider trading, and other securities violations. The awards-driven program provides a channel for company employees and corporate insiders to come forward with allegations, and the program's success grows every year. For instance, from 2020 to 2023, the record for whistleblower awards was broken twice, with $114 million and $279 million, respectively. 

Nevertheless, whistleblowers are eligible for more with some of the SEC's recent rule modifications. Those with information leading to non-SEC actions can gain compensation for their support, and the dollar amount of the recovery can only raise an award, not lower it.

Employees and company insiders may be eager to earn financial awards when they have information about alleged federal securities violations, but the SEC maintains a small window of opportunity. The Commission's eligibility requirements are as follows:

• The information must be timely, meaning whistleblowers must come forward before SEC enforcement actions or by subpoena.
• The information must be significant, meaning the amount depends on the individual's knowledge of the allegations, including supporting documentation and accounts.
• The information must be original, meaning whistleblowers must have first-hand accounts of the allegations.

Additionally, the SEC doesn't require whistleblowers to report internally first to be eligible for awards, but their compensation may increase if they do. If you have timely, significant, and original information on SEC violations in Kentucky, our experienced SEC whistleblower attorneys are ready to help you now.

Substantial awards and support for the public interest are motivators for submitting a tip, but there will be obstacles along the way. It's not uncommon for whistleblowers to experience employer retaliation, especially when submitting a tip alone. Additionally, securities law violations are nuanced and complex, so have confidence in reaching out to the Silver Law Group and the Law Firm of David R. Chase today.
