Peru whistleblower lawyer
When a whistleblower in the United States reports misconduct involving a Peru-based company, a cross-border transaction, or a US entity with operations in Peru, the legal landscape spans two distinct legal systems. At Law Offices of SRIS, P.C., Mr. Sris and the firm’s Of Counsel network provide US-law whistleblower representation while coordinating with a Peru-admitted attorney for the Peru-law dimension. The firm’s US-licensed attorneys handle the whistleblower submission, SEC or CFTC interaction, and anti-retaliation protections under US law; the Peru Of Counsel addresses any Peru-law questions that arise. For a confidential consultation, call (888) 437-7747.
What a Peru whistleblower lawyer handles
A Peru whistleblower lawyer at Law Offices of SRIS, P.C. helps an individual navigate the US whistleblower reward and protection programs when the reported conduct has a Peru nexus. The practice concentrates on the US statutory frameworks that incentivize and shield whistleblowers—principally the Dodd-Frank Act (15 U.S.C. § 78u-6), the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (18 U.S.C. § 1514A), and the False Claims Act (31 U.S.C. § 3729 et seq.)—and the rules of the SEC Whistleblower Program. A cross-border whistleblower matter often involves securities fraud, Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) violations, or money laundering that touches both the United States and Peru. The US-law side focuses on preparing a tip that meets the SEC’s or CFTC’s requirements, preserving confidentiality, and asserting anti-retaliation rights if the whistleblower faces adverse employment action. The Peru-law side—handled by the firm’s Peru Of Counsel—may involve local data-privacy rules, Peruvian labor law, or evidentiary questions that affect the US submission.
How Mr. Sris and the Of Counsel network approach a Peru-nexus whistleblower matter
Mr. Sris leads the US-law whistleblower representation, and the firm’s Peru Of Counsel, Martín Mayandía, addresses any Peru-law issues that arise during the matter. Mr. Sris, admitted in Virginia, Maryland, the District of Columbia, New Jersey, and New York, manages the preparation and submission of the whistleblower tip to the appropriate US agency, counsels the client on the SEC’s or CFTC’s procedural requirements, and represents the whistleblower in any US retaliation claim. Because the firm has no employees, every attorney works as Of Counsel; the US-licensed attorneys handle all US-law aspects, and the Peru-admitted attorney handles Peru-law aspects. Martín Mayandía is admitted to practice law in Peru (2009) and is not admitted in any US state bar; his role is limited to Peru-law matters in collaboration with the US-admitted attorneys of the firm. This division ensures that the client receives advice from an attorney licensed in the relevant jurisdiction for each component of the matter.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a whistleblower under US law?
A whistleblower is an individual who reports a violation of US securities laws, commodities laws, or other federal statutes to the appropriate government agency, often the SEC or CFTC. The Dodd-Frank Act defines a whistleblower as any person who provides information relating to a violation of the securities laws to the SEC. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act protects employees of publicly traded companies who report fraud. Whistleblowers may be eligible for monetary awards if their information leads to a successful enforcement action.
Do I need a Peru-admitted lawyer for a whistleblower matter involving Peru?
Not for the US-law submission itself, but a Peru-admitted lawyer can be valuable when the underlying facts involve Peruvian entities, documents, or legal questions. The SEC whistleblower process is governed entirely by US law. However, if the reported conduct occurred partly in Peru, or if the whistleblower is located in Peru, questions of Peruvian data privacy, labor law, or evidentiary admissibility may arise. The firm’s Peru Of Counsel, Martín Mayandía, is admitted to practice law in Peru (2009) and is not admitted in any US state bar; he addresses those Peru-law questions in collaboration with the US-admitted attorneys.
How does the firm handle the US-law and Peru-law sides of a whistleblower case?
Mr. Sris and the US-licensed attorneys handle all US-law aspects, including the SEC submission and any retaliation claim; the Peru Of Counsel handles Peru-law questions that affect the US matter. The two sides coordinate as needed, but each attorney works strictly within their licensure. The client receives US-law advice from a US-admitted attorney and Peru-law advice from a Peru-admitted attorney. This structure respects the unauthorized-practice-of-law rules of both countries and ensures that the whistleblower’s submission is prepared with an understanding of any Peru-law implications.
What should I bring to an initial consultation about a Peru-nexus whistleblower matter?
Bring any documents that describe the alleged misconduct, your employment or contractual relationship with the entity involved, and any communication you have had with the entity or regulators. The firm will review the materials under attorney-client privilege. Do not share original documents with anyone else before the consultation. The US-licensed attorney will assess whether the matter falls within the SEC’s or CFTC’s whistleblower program and whether the information is original and credible. The Peru Of Counsel may be consulted if the documents are in Spanish or raise Peru-law issues.
