Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act Representation

Excerpts From the SEC Whistleblower Rules Which the Meissner Firm Directly Participated in Lobbying the Commission On

The New Whistle-blower provision within the recent Dodd-Frank Act provides that whistleblowers that provide original information relating to a violation of the securities laws to the SEC, which leads to a successful enforcement action, will be awarded with up to 30% of a total recovery that is greater than $1 Million. The Meissner Firm assists clients on a contingency basis in pursuing whistleblower claims with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Commodities Futures Exchange Commission (CFTC). As a former regulator and prosecutor, we make sure that your claim is properly processed so that you obtain the recovery that you are entitled to and use resources to encourage and assist the SEC and/or CFTC in pursuing the matter so as to obtain compensation on the whistleblower’s behalf.

Further, the Dodd-Frank Act has created liability when an employer discharges, demotes, suspends, threatens, harasses, directly or indirectly, or in any other manner discriminates against, a whistleblower in the terms and conditions of employment because of any lawful act done by the whistleblower, whether in providing information to the SEC, initiating, testifying in, or assisting in any investigation or judicial or administrative action of the SEC related to such information. If you feel that you have been the victim of discrimination based upon your actions as a whistleblower, the Meissner firm can assist you in pursuing a cause of action against your employer if needed. The Act provides that an individual prevailing in such an action may receive relief in the form of (i) reinstatement with the same seniority status that the individual would have had, but for the discrimination, (ii) 2 times the amount of back pay otherwise owed to you, with interest, AND (iii) compensation for litigation costs, expert witness fees, and reasonable attorneys’ fees.
