Labaton Keller Sucharow's Whistleblower Representation Practice is dedicated to empowering individuals who expose corporate fraud, securities violations, financial misconduct, and other unlawful conduct that harms investors, consumers, and the public. We believe whistleblowers play a vital role in protecting the integrity of the financial markets and holding powerful institutions accountable. Our mission is to ensure that individuals with credible information have experienced advocates who can help them navigate the complex whistleblower process with confidence, discretion, and strategic guidance.
Our practice is led by former SEC Acting Chair and Commissioner Allison Herren Lee and former SEC Senior Counsel Andrew Feller, two nationally recognized leaders in securities regulation and enforcement. Together, they bring decades of experience at the highest levels of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, where they helped shape enforcement priorities, regulatory policy, and the agency's approach to protecting investors and maintaining fair, orderly, and efficient capital markets.
Labaton Keller Sucharow’s Whistleblower Representation Practice guides clients through every stage of the whistleblower process—from evaluating potential claims and developing a strategic disclosure plan to preparing detailed confidential submissions, communicating with government investigators, and pursuing whistleblower awards under applicable federal programs. We represent individuals before the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), Department of Justice (DOJ), Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), Internal Revenue Service (IRS), and other federal enforcement agencies, tailoring our approach to the unique requirements of each program and investigation.
Effective whistleblower representation requires more than simply submitting information to the government. It demands careful legal analysis, strategic presentation of evidence, and an understanding of what regulators need to open and successfully pursue an investigation. Our team works closely with clients to develop comprehensive submissions that clearly present the facts, identify legal violations, organize supporting evidence, and maximize the likelihood that government agencies will recognize the significance of the information provided.
Protecting our clients is central to everything we do. We understand the personal and professional risks that often accompany reporting misconduct, including concerns about confidentiality, career repercussions, and retaliation. Our team counsels clients on maintaining confidentiality throughout the process, advises them on their legal rights and obligations, and develops strategies designed to protect their identities whenever possible. When whistleblowers experience retaliation, we assist our clients to aggressively pursue claims to enforce the robust protections provided under federal whistleblower laws.
Labaton Keller Sucharow has built its reputation by representing investors, uncovering corporate misconduct, and holding wrongdoers accountable in some of the nation's most significant securities and corporate governance matters. Our Whistleblower Representation Practice extends that commitment by helping courageous individuals bring critical information to the attention of government regulators while protecting their interests throughout the process.
If you have information regarding potential violations of the federal securities laws, accounting fraud, market manipulation, insider trading, Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) violations, tax fraud, sanctions or anti-money laundering violations, government contracting fraud, or other corporate misconduct, we encourage you to contact us for a confidential consultation. Our experienced team is prepared to evaluate your matter, explain your options, and help you determine the best path forward.
