Defending the Rights of Whistleblowers
New York and federal whistleblower statutes are based on the common law principle of Qui Tam. They protect individuals from retribution when they report fraud or other wrongdoing that involves state or federal funds. In fact, if a whistleblower reports wrongdoing that is subsequently prosecuted by the government, he or she can obtain a reward that represents a percentage of the recovery obtained. If you are aware of wrongdoing and are unsure about how to proceed, an experienced attorney can help.
