Prior to making internal disclosures, whistleblowers should consider the rules that apply to their unique circumstances and evaluate potential remedies to combat retaliation. Due to the Supreme Court's 2018 Digital Realty decision, internal disclosures are protected under the Dodd-Frank whistleblower protection provision only where the whistleblower also reports a potential violation to the SEC. Fortunately, the House Financial Services Committee recently approved on a bipartisan basis legislation clarifying that internal disclosures are protected under the Dodd-Frank Act ( H.R. 2515 ). The House has not yet voted on this legislation.
