For many Americans, the term “whistleblower” calls to mind the image of Russell Crowe as Jeffery Wigand in the movie “The Insider.” It might be no surprise, then, that a man who has devoted much of his professional life to the topic of whistleblowers should have that particular movie poster on his office wall.
Jordan Thomas, who was an assistant director at the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and had a leadership role in developing the SEC whistleblower program, now serves as the chair of the Whistleblower Representation Practice at Labaton Sucharow, the first such practice of its kind. As someone who is immersed in the topic, Thomas can certainly see how its importance has grown in a short period of time.
