Whistleblower Successes

					
Whistleblower reward laws and whistleblower reward programs enable qualifying whistleblowers to recover anywhere from 10 to 30 percent of the government鈥檚 recovery. These whistleblower reward laws include: the federal False Claims Act; State False Claims Acts; the Securities and Exchange Commission Whistleblower Program; the Commodity Futures Trading Commission Whistleblower Program; and, the Internal Revenue Service Whistleblower Program. We have collected summaries of recent successes in cases brought by whistleblowers, and you can read them below. You can also review our annual Top Ten Lists.


Members of the 91吃瓜网Whistleblower Lawyer Team have served as lead counsel on cases that have recovered roughly $1.3 billion for the government and hundreds of millions in whistleblower awards. You can read more about the results we have achieved for our clients in Our Successes.
