What should I do if my company receives a whistleblower complaint or subpoena?

Contact counsel immediately. Preserve relevant documents, limit internal statements, and coordinate a privilege-preserving response plan before producing materials or speaking with regulators.

Can I be fired for reporting misconduct?

Possibly not lawfully. Protections may be available under state law (e.g., NY Labor Law §740/741), the False Claims Act, or federal whistleblower statutes. Timely legal evaluation is critical.

Do NDAs prevent whistleblowing to the SEC or DOJ?

No—contracts cannot lawfully bar reporting to regulators. We review and, when necessary, challenge NDA provisions that improperly restrict protected reporting.
