SEC Whistleblower Cases Are Multifaceted

The primary focus of the SEC’s Office of the Whistleblower (OWB) is efficiently safeguarding public interest and investors. While the process of determining award amounts is multifaceted, a preliminary determination is critical to the actual award.

The OWB’s claims review staff previews the recommendation and will issue a preliminary determination of an estimated monetary award, which is subject to review by the SEC. The regulations are fairly new and subject to amendments. The individual facts and circumstances surrounding the claim will affect the amount of the award. Claimants may accept the preliminary determination or request a reconsideration. This is where working with an experienced whistleblower attorney is vital to protect your rights.
