Washington State SEC Whistleblower Attorneys

If you believe the company you work for might have violated federal securities laws or think you may have invested in a fraudulent scheme, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) wants to know.

Under updates made to the Whistleblower Program rules in September 2020, an SEC whistleblower is defined as someone who delivers original information pertaining to possible securities law violations in writing to the SEC. If information provided to the SEC triggers an enforcement proceeding that results in financial payments of more than $1 million, the whistleblower will be awarded between 10% and 30% of what the SEC collects.

The SEC encourages people who have credible information on federal securities law violations, such as Ponzi schemes, stock manipulations, and false corporate filings, to report what they know to the SEC Office of the Whistleblower. Not only will you be protecting the public and other individuals from potential harm, you also could be financially compensated for doing so.

However, when you report what you know, it’s important that your information is handled with utmost care. Our SEC Whistleblower Attorneys will make sure your tip is investigated and you receive the maximum possible reward. Contact our SEC whistleblower attorneys today.

Our attorneys include a former SEC Enforcement Attorney as well as individuals who have worked with whistleblowers in Seattle, Olympia, Spokane, Tacoma, Vancouver, Bellingham, throughout Washington, and all over the United States. They will use their considerable experience to make sure you are protected and rewarded for your information.

The Silver Law Group and the Law Firm of David R. Chase believe whistleblowers should be compensated generously, both to encourage more people to speak up and to compensate the whistleblower for their risks. We work non-stop to help our Washington whistleblower clients file their tips correctly and receive the highest possible rewards.

The largest amount paid to date to an SEC Whistleblower whose tip advanced an SEC enforcement investigation was more than double the $114 million award the SEC paid in October 2020.

However, many SEC tips don’t get investigated because the Washington state SEC whistleblower didn’t file the application correctly. Our SEC whistleblower attorneys know how to file your application correctly. Also, if you’d like to file your application anonymously, one of our attorneys can be the front-facing person in your case.
