Whistleblower Representation

Connecticut representation for qui tam whistleblower actions

Federal and state whistleblower laws protect employees from retaliatory firing if they report the employer’s allegedly illegal activities to the appropriate state or federal agency.

Silver Golub & Teitell represents whistleblowers who report their employers in cases of the following:

• Accounting fraud
• Sarbanes-Oxley Act violations
• Price fixing
• Unfair trade practices
• False billing
• Consumer fraud
• Fraudulent use of government funds
• Other forms of intentional misconduct

Standing in the government’s shoes

The whistleblower—or qui tam—laws permit individuals to bring suit on behalf of the government and are designed to encourage the reporting of fraud and abuse. The laws provide protections for employees and specifically prohibit retaliation for the reporting of the following:

• Corporate fraud
• Government waste or abuse
• Making certain complaints to government agencies
• Reporting illegal harassment or discrimination
• Cooperating with law enforcement investigations

Our experienced qui tam lawyers have successfully represented employees and former employees who suffered retaliation such as the following:

• Demotions
• Salary cuts
• Harassment
• Transfers
• Wrongful termination

We provide advice and guidance to individuals who have knowledge of business fraud and want to know how to proceed. We offer a free consultation and case evaluation to potential whistleblowers and will thoroughly investigate both the underlying allegations and any claims of whistleblower retaliation to ensure that the client’s rights are protected.
