Missouri SEC Whistleblower Attorneys

If you have substantial, original, and timely information regarding federal securities violations, our team is prepared to help you become an SEC whistleblower and gain financial awards. When you contact the Silver Law Group and the Law Firm of David R. Chase, you'll learn how we will help you achieve the best outcome possible. Staffed with a former SEC Enforcement Attorney, our firms understand how the Commission enforces federal securities laws. We work with individuals in Missouri, nationwide, and internationally in submitting tips to the SEC Office of the Whistleblower and ensuring every individual's rights are protected in these delicate matters.

Awards can be significant—10 to 30 percent of recoveries over $1 million. Yet, your compensation will depend on a few critical factors:

• How a tip is submitted
• The SEC investigation process
• Cooperation from the whistleblower

Despite the pressure involved in coming forward with allegations, the Commission doesn't pursue most tips. However, the chance will increase when you retain an experienced SEC whistleblower law firm. We will assert your right to claim the compensation you deserve and protect your anonymity.

Through the history of the SEC's Whistleblower Program, over $6 billion has been recovered through successful enforcement actions like insider trading, Ponzi schemes, stock market manipulation, and many others. The incentive-driven program has provided a path for employees and others with inside corporate information to come forward, and the amount awarded to individuals increases yearly. Between 2020 and 2023, the record for the highest amount awarded to whistleblowers was shattered twice—$114 million and $279 million, respectively. 

Some of the Commission's changes will allow whistleblowers to collect even more. For instance, individuals with information that leads to non-SEC actions and recoveries can gain financial compensation for their support. Moreover, the potential recovery and compensation dollar amount may only be considered to raise the final figure but not lower it.

Financial awards may motivate anyone to come forward with evidence of alleged federal securities violations. However, the SEC provides a narrow bandwidth for eligibility. For example, the SEC will only consider the following types of information:

• Timely information: Whistleblowers must come forward before the SEC acts on a particular violation and before being compelled by law enforcement.  
• Significant information: The amount of a whistleblower's award depends on their knowledge, such as an in-depth account of the alleged violations, recordkeeping practices, internal reporting compliance, and others.
• Original information: Whistleblowers must-have information for the SEC that supports an enforcement action. Whistleblowers are not mandated to report internally first, but it may increase the award percentage.

If you believe you have timely, significant, and original information about SEC violations in Missouri, our experienced SEC whistleblower attorneys are ready to start your case.

Substantial awards and a sense of supporting the public good are great motivators in submitting a tip, but each is a daunting challenge. Whistleblowers can be threatened by employer retaliation, especially when submitting a tip alone. Additionally, securities law violations are wide-ranging and complex, so remain confident in your decision to reach out to the Silver Law Group and the Law Firm of David R. Chase.
