SEC Whistleblower Lawyers

In 2010, the Dodd-Frank Act created an incentive program to reward individuals who blow the whistle on violations of securities laws, commodities and currency exchanges, and the Foreign and Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA). Whistleblowers can be rewarded with 10% to 30% of the total recovery collected by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
