Tennessee SEC Whistleblower Attorneys

Our team has the knowledge and finesse needed to help whistleblowers gain the financial awards they deserve for their assistance in the public interest. If you have credible and timely information about federal securities law violations, please contact the Silver Law Group and the Law Firm of David Chase today. With a former SEC Enforcement Attorney on our team, we understand how the Commission works and how to properly represent individuals in Tennessee, across the U.S., and internationally in submitting tips to the SEC Office of the Whistleblower.

Awards are 10 to 30 percent of successful enforcement actions over $1 million recovered. Still, compensation will depend on how a tip is submitted, the subsequent investigation, and the whistleblower's level of knowledge and cooperation. However, the SEC fails to scrutinize most tips, and there are multiple hurdles to navigate along the way, like the pressure of coming forward with significant information. To promote the best outcome and earn the largest award possible, retain an experienced SEC whistleblower law firm to assert your claim and protect your potential compensation and anonymity.

The SEC's incentive-driven program has led to more individuals coming forward with information regarding violations like Ponzi schemes, insider trading, stock market manipulation, and others. Over $6 billion has been recovered since the Commission adopted the program. In the last few years, the record for the awarded amount was broken twice—$114 million and $279 million, respectively. 

With recent changes, however, the potential amount has increased for some. SEC whistleblowers with information that leads to recoveries in non-SEC actions now have the opportunity to gain financial compensation for their cooperation. Additionally, the award's dollar amount may only be considered to increase the final figure but not decrease it.

The financial awards alone can motivate many to come forward when they have evidence of federal securities violations. Yet, there are narrow guidelines to be eligible for a portion of the recovered funds, like the following:

• The SEC only accepts timely information. Whistleblowers must come forward to the Commission before they act on a particular violation and are not eligible if under agency or law enforcement order.  
• The SEC only accepts significant information. Financial compensation depends on the whistleblower's knowledge in many areas, such as alleged violations, trails of evidence, internal reporting systems, etc. Consequently, the information given and the percentage of the enforcement action awarded are linked.  
• The SEC only accepts original information. The Commission doesn't require potential whistleblowers to report to internal compliance officials first, but their award percentage may be increased.

If you believe you have timely, significant, and original information about securities violations in Tennessee, our experienced SEC whistleblower attorneys stand prepared to help. We are with you through every step of the reporting process. We will represent you to the Commission and ensure authorities have everything they need to conduct an enforcement action so you secure financial compensation.

Even though large financial awards and civic duty are motivators, submitting a tip is a challenge. No matter the type of violation, whistleblowers risk employer retaliation from employers, especially when corresponding with the SEC alone. Additionally, the Commission pursues only a small percentage of all claims.
