Attorneys at Forizs & Dogali also have extensive knowledge with regards to The 2010 Dodd-Frank Act ("the Act"), which provides for mandatory "bounties" to be paid to a Whistleblower if the SEC takes action as a result of "original information" provided by a Whistleblower. With the assistance of an attorney, a Whistleblower may submit an anonymous report, which remains that way if and until the SEC decides to take action on the information provided and a "bounty" is paid. Additionally, the Act protects the Whistleblower from retaliation by employers and others for providing the information.
