Whistleblower Law & Corporate Compliance

When Whistleblower Allegations Turn into Litigation, We’re the Firm You Want in the Room

The federal government has intensified its pursuit of corporate misconduct — and whistleblowers are leading the charge. With the DOJ’s expanded Corporate Whistleblower Awards Pilot Program (CWAPP) and the SEC’s enforcement of Rule 21F-17(a), employees now have greater incentives — and protection — to report potential violations directly to regulators.

That shift means companies face a higher risk of investigations, subpoenas, and litigation. Lieb at Law, P.C. represents both employers and employees in these high-stakes matters, from the first internal report through trial.

We represent both companies and individuals. Whether you need a rapid response plan for a subpoena or you’ve been retaliated against for protected reporting, our trial team moves quickly to protect your rights and business interests.
