Nationwide Whistleblower Retaliation Protection
Standing up against corporate or other wrongdoing takes courage. Those who expose fraud or illegal activities often risk facing harsh consequences, but a strong legal team can offer protection.
Cross Law Firm, S.C., has spent over 45 years fighting for whistleblower protections nationwide from our Wisconsin offices. We have secured multimillion-dollar rewards for brave individuals who reported fraud against the federal government. Our attorneys know how to navigate complex whistleblower laws and can shield you from unlawful retaliation.
Key Protections For Whistleblowers
Federal and state statutory provisions provide important legal safeguards for federal employees, federal contractors and private sector workers who report violations, including:
- Prohibitions on retaliation against adverse actions like termination, demotion or pay cuts
- Protection from harassment, intimidation and discrimination
- Right to file confidential whistleblower disclosures in many cases
- Ability to seek reinstatement and financial compensation
These laws cover a wide range of protected disclosures related to:
- Violation of law, rules or regulations
- Gross mismanagement or waste of funds
- Abuse of authority relating to public health and safety
- Posing substantial dangers to public health and safety
Not every negative personnel action after whistleblowing is considered illegal retaliation. The specifics of your situation matter greatly.
Reporting workplace misconduct is a weighty decision. Many would-be whistleblowers fear career damage and wonder if speaking up is worth the risk. Our legal team has seen firsthand how courageous individuals can make a real difference. We can carefully explain your rights and obligations so you can make an informed legal choice.
