Wrongful Termination of Whistleblower

If you are reporting wrong doing concerning your work environment, or are considering doing so, Illinois and federal laws do not leave you unprotected. The firm has represented clients in whistleblowing claims that rely on Illinois statutory and common laws as well as federal laws such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX). In particular, as executives and professionals, our clients are concerned with exposing claims of corporate financial fraud. In advising her clients, Ms. Major applies her experience as an attorney for employees as well as her past experience of being the attorney for the corporation. She understands the rules that a corporation needs to follow with respect to whistleblowing, so she can quickly identify when those rules have been violated or ignored.

Ms. Major can advise you on how to conduct yourself when reporting wrong doing so as to maximize the available protections of the law in Illinois. If you have been terminated or have suffered other discrimination attributable to your status as a whistleblower, Ms. Major can also work with you to protect your rights both in and out of court.
