PRO BONO
We wrote the rules on whistleblowing and advocate for stronger laws
Several anonymous Facebook whistleblowers have exposed a shocking pattern of criminal activity on the platform. Facebook is aware of these widespread issues but has not taken real or meaningful steps to stop them. Congress must ensure that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) does its job. Permitting criminal activity on a company’s property will ultimately impact the value of the company stock, harming investors.
Our team has helped lead the fight to pass amendments which would strengthen the False Claims Act (FCA). We've worked directly with Congressional offices to ensure that legislation gets passed which closes loopholes that have diminished the efficacy of the FCA.
Our firm has worked directly with the Congressional offices responsible for oversight and funding of the CFTC’s Whistleblower Office in order to insure that the program will continue to be an immense success.
