Understanding Workplace Retaliation

Retaliation occurs when an employer takes adverse action against an employee for engaging in legally protected activities such as reporting fraud, misleading financial statements, misrepresentation of revenue, or unethical business practices. Retaliation can take various forms, including:

• Demotion or termination

• Salary reduction or withheld promotions

• Exclusion from strategic meetings and decision-making

• Hostile work environment or harassment

• False performance reviews to justify disciplinary action

Executives such as Chief Executive Officers (CEO), Chief Financial Officers (CFO), Chief Operating Officers (COO), and Chief Compliance Officers (CCO) are often at the center of corporate decision-making and may find themselves targeted when they act in the best interest of shareholders, investors, and stakeholders.

Common Retaliation Cases We Handle

At Arcé Law Group, we specialize in representing professionals, particularly C-Suite executives and senior management, in high-stakes retaliation cases. Some of the most common cases involve:

1. Whistleblower Retaliation

Executives and employees who report corporate misconduct, such as inflated books, double billing, or falsified financial records, often face retaliation from their employers. Whether reporting to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) or internally, you have legal protections under whistleblower laws.

2. Breach of Fiduciary Duty Cases

If you are a C-Level executive, chief officer, or upper management professional who has exposed corporate waste, fraudulent accounting practices, or financial misrepresentations, your employer cannot legally retaliate against you for acting in the best interests of stockholders and shareholders.

3. Retaliation for Reporting Workplace Misconduct

Executives such as Chief Human Resources Officers (CHROs), Chief Risk Officers (CROs), and Chief People Officers (CPOs) often deal with ethical complaints, harassment, and discrimination cases. If you have faced backlash for ensuring compliance with workplace policies and laws, our legal team can help you seek justice.

4. Retaliation for Compliance and Security Reports

Executives in charge of cybersecurity, data protection, and compliance, such as Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs), Chief Security Officers (CSOs), and Chief Technology Officers (CTOs), may experience retaliation for reporting cybersecurity breaches or misleading investors about data security risks. Our firm is experienced in handling these highly technical and strategic cases.

Legal Protections Against Retaliation

Federal and state laws protect employees from retaliation when they report fraud, corporate misconduct, or financial mismanagement. Some key laws include:

• Dodd-Frank Act (whistleblower protections for reporting securities violations)

• Sarbanes-Oxley Act (protects employees who report financial fraud)

• New York State and City Human Rights Laws (prohibit retaliation for reporting workplace violations)

• False Claims Act (protects whistleblowers who expose fraudulent billing practices)
