Utah SEC Whistleblower Attorneys

The Silver Law Group and the Law Firm of David R. Chase have formed a strategic alliance equipped with the knowledge and expertise necessary to assist you in obtaining financial compensation and serving the public interest by securities violations to the SEC Office of the Whistleblower. Contact us today if you are an employee or concerned citizen in Utah with credible information about federal securities law violations, including Ponzi schemes, investor fraud, and market manipulation. Our experienced team of attorneys includes a former SEC Enforcement attorney, giving us a deep understanding of the best way to come forward with information to maximize compensation and get the SEC interested in your tip.

The Commission does not investigate every tip it receives. Working with our SEC whistleblower attorneys will help you avoid the common pitfalls faced by SEC whistleblowers, including strict eligibility requirements for awards. Working with an experienced SEC whistleblower law firm also helps protect your information from leaking to the public, keeping you anonymous and safe from retaliatory actions.

Successful enforcement action by the SEC of over $1 million may award whistleblowers with 10 to 30 percent of the total amount. However, the Commission does not award everyone who comes forward with information. Eligibility requirements for whistleblowers include:

• Providing significant information: Providing information that substantially impacts the investigation and eventual enforcement action will result in a higher potential reward.
• Providing original information: Any information you give to the SEC must be first-hand knowledge of actual violations so they can move forward with your tip. While you don't have to report internally to your company before contacting the Commission, this may increase your award.
• Providing timely information: To be eligible, you must voluntarily come forward to the SEC before they take enforcement action or start an investigation.

Don't delay if you have information about violations of securities law. Our Utah SEC whistleblower attorneys can represent you before the Commission and provide your information in a way that meets all requirements to receive an award.

If you know of securities violations, such as Ponzi schemes, futures fraud, or insider trading, you should come forward as an SEC whistleblower. Working with an experienced SEC whistleblower attorney may uncover other types of violations, including:

• Market manipulation
• Hedge fund fraud
• Fraudulent or unregistered securities offerings
• Commodities fraud
• EB-5 investment fraud
• Investment adviser fraud
• Accounting fraud by publicly traded companies
• Inadequate reporting systems

Utah SEC whistleblowers may experience challenges when coming forward with a tip regarding securities violations. Employers may retaliate, and at the end of the journey, the SEC may not even pursue your tip and take action. The strategic alliance created by our experienced SEC whistleblower attorneys is just what you need to feel confident about becoming an SEC whistleblower.

We represent whistleblowers across Utah in cities like Salt Lake City, West Valley City, Provo, and more. If you have information about securities violations, our team can use our understanding of the SEC whistleblower process to increase the chances the SEC takes action on your tip and awards you fair compensation.

There has been an explosion in successful enforcement actions ever since the SEC created a new program in 2011 to incentivize whistleblowers to submit information. The largest awards to whistleblowers through this program have all come in recent years, with the most significant award being $279 million.

Recent fiscal year 2022 changes to the program raised the award potential for whistleblowers. Those who come forward with information about securities will still be awarded for non-SEC enforcement action. The SEC may now also consider the dollar value of an award to increase it but not to lower it.

Contact our SEC whistleblower attorneys today if you have information regarding federal securities violations and want to receive a monetary award for coming forward. Our team can help you successfully become a Utah SEC whistleblower by following all relevant guidelines and identifying what the Commission wants to see when it receives a tip.
