Pennsylvania SEC Whistleblower Attorneys

Individuals with credible information regarding federal securities law violations, such as stock manipulations, Ponzi Schemes, and false corporate filings, are encouraged to report them to the SEC Office of the Whistleblower. By providing a tip to the Office, you could help protect the public from harm and earn financial compensation for it.

To ensure your tip is investigated and that you’re awarded the largest amount possible, contact our SEC whistleblower attorneys today. Our highly skilled team includes a former SEC Enforcement Attorney with considerable first-hand knowledge of SEC investigations. Our SEC whistleblower attorneys have worked with individuals in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and throughout Pennsylvania, the United States, and abroad and will leverage this experience to help you.

In September 2020, the Securities and Exchange Commission updated the whistleblower program rules. One major update included a new definition for the term “whistleblower.” Today, according to the SEC, a whistleblower is someone who delivers original information pertaining to possible securities law violations in writing to the SEC. If the information isn’t in writing, or isn’t about possible securities law violations, the individual is not considered a whistleblower and won’t be eligible for an award.

The program also ensures that if the information provided to the SEC triggers an enforcement proceeding that results in financial payments of over $1 million, the whistleblower will be awarded between 10% and 30% of the amount the SEC collects. Many SEC tips aren’t investigated because the Pennsylvania SEC whistleblower didn’t file the application correctly. By working withour SEC whistleblower attorneys, you can be assured your application will be filed appropriately. If you’d prefer to file anonymously, your attorney can be the front-facing individual in the case.

The largest financial bounty ever paid to a single SEC whistleblower whose tip significantly advanced the SEC enforcement investigation more than doubled the $114 million award the SEC paid in October 2020.
