The Pickholz Law Offices LLC is a premier securities and SEC whistleblower law firm founded by former BigLaw partner Jason Pickholz, specializing in high-stakes white collar financial cases. The firm stands out as a pioneer in whistleblower law, having achieved the historic distinction of being the first to successfully appeal and overturn an SEC staff recommendation to deny a whistleblower award—a milestone recognized by Inside Counsel Magazine as one of the five key events in the Dodd-Frank whistleblower program.
With over 25 years of experience since 1995, the firm offers big-firm expertise combined with the personalized attention of a boutique practice. It represents a diverse clientele including employees, officers, directors, counterparties, and victims from the U.S. and internationally, often involving Fortune Top 10, Top 20, Top 50, Top 100, Top 500, and Forbes Global 2000 companies. The firm’s dual focus encompasses both robust whistleblower representation and vigorous defense in enforcement proceedings, handling cases involving complex financial instruments, cryptocurrencies, and high-profile investigations.
