A whistleblower reward is a payment you receive from the U.S. government for reporting corporate crime. 

The average award paid by the SEC is almost $5 million.

Yes. With the help of FBR, you can report anonymously. 

Many government agencies pay whistleblower rewards, but FBR specializes in helping people report to the most successful whistleblower program which is run by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

FBR focuses on helping people report violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) but you can also report violations of any Securities Law, Commodities law or tax law to the SEC, CFTC or IRS.

Blowing the whistle on companies helps fight corruption, injustice and fraud. It helps authorities put a stop to corporate greed and hold corporations to account. Whistleblower rewards are designed to encourage reporting and compensate for the risks whistleblowers take. If you are solely motivated to become a whistleblower by the prospect of receiving a reward, our firm may not be a good fit for you. We endeavor to obtain the maximum award possible for all of our clients, but seek out clients who have a passion for justice and, like us, want to help in the fight against corruption, fraud and injustice.

You are not required to use a lawyer when whistleblowing. However, if you don’t submit your claim correctly you may lose your entitlement to your award.  Using a qualified and experienced law firm like FBR to help your application can provide a number of benefits as well as avoid common mistakes when reporting: 

•  Using an attorney can help ensure that your claim gets noticed and investigated. The Office of the Whistleblower receives a lot of information and it doesn’t have the resources to investigate every claim;
• Using an attorney also ensures that you can maximize the award by making the strongest possible case;
• Using an attorney allows you to report anonymously  in some circumstances;
• An attorney will take care of the legal procedures including making sure you meet submission deadlines.  It also provides you with an advocate in the United Kingdom who can speak on your behalf ; 
• Our online evaluation and consultation process are provided free of charge.  If you do wish to engage us we work on contingency meaning we only get paid, if you get paid. 

FBR has years of experience representing individuals and investigating FCPA, SEC and other corporate crime violations.  We can quickly provide advice on how to maximize your claim and make sure you submit your claim before someone beats you to it.  The first step is to take the online evaluation.
