Texas SEC Whistleblower Attorneys

At Silver Law Group and the Law Firm of David R. Chase, we have the skills to help you obtain financial compensation—while aiding the public interest—by submitting a tip to the SEC Office of the Whistleblower. If you have credible information pertaining to federal securities law violations like Ponzi schemes, investor fraud, non-compliant reporting systems, or others, please contact us today. We represent SEC whistleblowers in Texas, nationwide, and abroad. Our experienced attorneys include a former SEC Enforcement Attorney who understands how the Commission investigates and how to maximize the odds of having your tip investigated so you earn the largest award possible.

If the Commission initiates successful enforcement action of over $1 million, whistleblowers may be awarded 10 to 30 percent of the amount collected. Most tips are not investigated by the SEC, and there are strict rules to follow to assess eligibility for an award. If you’re in Texas, it’s important to be represented by an experienced SEC whistleblower law firm to protect your potential compensation and anonymity.

With more incentives for whistleblowers, the SEC has issued more enforcement actions than ever before. From 2020 to 2023, the record for financial compensation awarded to SEC whistleblowers was broken twice—$114 million and $279 million, respectively. Since the Commission adopted the program, over $2 billion has been awarded to whistleblowers with valuable information.

With recent changes in its whistleblower program, the SEC is increasing the potential compensation in financial awards. Texas whistleblowers will now be paid for information and assistance in connection with non-SEC actions. In addition, the Commission can now factor in the dollar amount of a potential award, and can increase but not lower it accordingly.

Texas SEC whistleblowers can earn between 10 and 30 percent of successful enforcement actions exceeding $1 million, but there are strict guidelines for eligibility, like the following:

• Timely information provided by the whistleblower: SEC whistleblowers must come forth voluntarily before any action is taken on securities violations or before authorities have knowledge of allegations.
• Significance of the information: While knowledge of any SEC violation can lead to financial compensation, the amount often depends on the impact of the whistleblower’s information. The more information you provide, the higher the potential reward.
• Original information: The Commission needs first-hand information to pursue enforcement action for securities violations. Moreover, the SEC doesn’t require whistleblowers to initially report allegations internally, but their award percentage may be increased if they do so.

If you believe you have original, timely, and significant information regarding Texas securities violations, our SEC whistleblower attorneys are here to assist you. We can help you understand what the Commission needs for an enforcement action and how to secure compensation.

Despite the potential financial awards, becoming a Texas SEC whistleblower can be challenging. It’s not uncommon for whistleblowers to experience retaliation from employers, and unfortunately, the SEC doesn’t pursue all claims. The Silver Law Group and the Law Firm of David R. Chase, Texas SEC whistleblower attorneys, can guide you and will work to protect you through the whole process.
