It's Personal

We are selective. Our past success allows us to be patient. Our work is deeply personal. We seek clients who are willing to roll up their sleeves and work hard to ensure the success of their cases and we studiously avoid clients who don’t play well with others. Ultimately, we trust our instincts. When a case is truly special, we feel it. It changes and excites us. Working with courageous SEC whistleblowers is the most rewarding thing that we can imagine doing with our lives.

An ultra-selective practice. A team with a century of federal law enforcement experience, led by a principal architect of the SEC Whistleblower Program. Exclusively partners working exclusively for SEC whistleblowers. World-class in-house investigators, accountants and analysts. Precedent-setting whistleblower awards.
