Whistleblower Claims
Whistleblower Claims
Whistleblower laws protect employees who report suspected illegal activities, but they can also be misused to target employers unfairly. EAG Law Group defends businesses against whistleblower and retaliation claims, ensuring compliance while protecting companies from baseless accusations. With extensive experience in handling these complex cases, EAG helps employers navigate legal challenges and safeguard their business.
Many federal, state, and local laws are specifically designed to encourage and protect employees to report suspected illegal activities by their employers or members of their management team. Reporting suspected unsafe working conditions or suspected illegal business practices are classic examples of protected employee whistleblowing.
Workplace-realted reporting laws were enacted to serve the important societal function of ferreting out illegal activities and to protect employees from retaliation. However, these laws can also be abused by employees who lack a reasonable and good faith basis for complaints to government agencies, and who are motivated instead by a desire to harm a company or members its management.
EAG has significant experience in defending all manner of employee whistleblower claims,
- Alleged violation of California Labor Code section 1102.5
- Retaliation claims under the California Fair Employment & Housing Act
- Retaliation claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act
- Wrongful termination in violation of public policy based on reporting alleged violation of constitutional, statutory, or regulatory law.

"I can't say enough good things about him."
“I have worked with Steve since 2002 and I can't say enough good things about him . He represented me in a trade secret case filed in Superior Court against a company traded on the New York Stock Exchange. At the time I did not think there was much hope but Steve successfully opposed every motion the opposing attorney filed in the case. He had the opposing attorney on his heels the whole time and was able to achieve a very favorable outcome.”
