Hagens Berman’s securities fraud attorneys represent whistleblowers bringing forward information regarding securities fraud and financial market manipulation.

Securities fraud violates federal laws enforced by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Whistleblowers are often the best mechanism by which the SEC can learn about these forms of manipulation. If whistleblowers bring forward helpful information to the SEC, they can be rewarded for their findings if they result in a major recovery for the government, or fine levied against the perpetrator of the investment fraud.

Hagens Berman's securities fraud cases have resulted in billions of dollars in settlements and fines against some of the country's largest corporations.

Securities fraud that whistleblowers can report to the SEC includes:

  • intentional conduct designed to deceive investors
  • controlling or artificially affecting the market for investments
  • spreading false information to affect a stock price
  • manipulating volume
  • “spoofing” or other predatory techniques
  • creating an artificial picture of demand or supply for a security

Whistleblowers with information regarding wrongdoers are encouraged to report to the SEC Whistleblower Office with the assistance of a skilled investment fraud lawyer. A skilled securities law firm can make your case to the SEC ironclad and impactful, leading both to SEC enforcement actions and potential rewards for your investment fraud reporting.

If a whistleblower reports securities fraud with the help of a qualified SEC whistleblower attorney, the whistleblower may remain anonymous and benefit from other protections against retaliation.
