Confidential and Expert Whistleblower Support

Whistleblowing can be a daunting and emotionally challenging decision. It often feels like an act of betrayal, bringing fears of career repercussions or isolation from your industry.

At Grønblad, we understand these concerns and provide discreet, expert support to guide you through every step of the whistleblowing process.

Our role is to ensure that your case is handled carefully and professionally, always keeping your best interests at the forefront. From assessing the strength of your claim to presenting evidence to the most appropriate regulatory body, we are here to help you navigate this sensitive process with confidence and protection.

We focus exclusively on international whistleblowing cases within the financial services industry, with a primary emphasis on matters involving a US nexus.

If you need support with whistleblowing, schedule a consultation call with us today.

Why Proper Whistleblowing Support Matters

In cases involving a US regulatory connection, timing and accuracy are critical. Under federal whistleblower programmes, to qualify for protection and compensation, you must:

  • Be the first to report the information to the government.

  • Ensure the regulatory body has not already initiated an investigation into the matter.

  • Submit your information to the correct authority, in the correct format, and through the appropriate channels.

If someone else submits the same information first, or if the regulatory body has already started investigating, your eligibility for protection and compensation may be lost.

Additionally, while authorities value the information you provide, compensation can often be avoided due to procedural errors in the filing process. This makes it essential to have expert guidance to ensure the claim is properly submitted and compliant with all requirements.

How Grønblad Supports You Through the Process

1. Initial Case Review and Assessment

Before proceeding, we conduct a detailed assessment to determine whether your claim has the necessary strength and credibility to move forward. If there’s enough to support a whistleblowing case, we’ll outline the next steps and begin preparing your evidence.

2. Preparing and Presenting Evidence

We assist in compiling and presenting your case in a format that is clear, compelling, and legally compliant. This ensures that:

  • Prosecutors and regulators can quickly recognise the merit of your case.

  • The submission is sufficiently detailed to trigger the government’s duty to investigate.

3. Regulatory Filing and Submission

Ensuring your filing is directed to the correct regulatory body and adheres to federal guidelines is crucial. We help you navigate these complexities, ensuring that your submission is processed correctly and efficiently.
