SOX Whistleblowers Protection

In response to a recent post, the question was asked: is Federal Court the better forum to help a SOX Whistleblower obtain relief for wrongful termination because he blew the whistle on accounting corruption in a publicly traded corporation?

 We think that the answer is yes and no. It does appear that SOX Whistleblowers do enjoy a more expansive interpretation of what constitutes a ”protected activity” in Federal Court BUT the costs and time delays in Federal Court should also be considered.   The technicalities of presenting a case in Federal Court will require the help of an attorney and the time to resolve your your claim will be much longer.

Before jumping into the Federal Court system the SOX Whistleblower should also consider these factors.
