NEW YORK, July 11, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The law firm of Kirby McInerney LLP is pleased to announce that it has created a new practice group focused on supporting whistleblowers under the newly-announced U.S. Department of Justice’s Antitrust Division Whistleblower Rewards Program.
The DOJ Antitrust Division’s Whistleblower Rewards Program offers rewards for individuals who report antitrust crimes and related offenses that harm consumers, taxpayers, and free market competition. Under the program rules, whistleblowers who voluntarily report original information about antitrust and related offenses that result in criminal fines or other recoveries of at least $1 million may be eligible to receive a whistleblower reward. Subject to the discretion of the Antitrust Division, if a whistleblower is eligible for an award the presumptive award amount will be between 15 and 30% of the amount of the criminal fine or recovery.
"Kirby McInerney has developed one of the leading whistleblower practices in recent years. The Firm also has decades of experience litigating some of the most cutting-edge areas of antitrust and market manipulation cases," said David E. Kovel, Co-Managing Partner, will lead the Firm’s new practice. Mr. Kovel added, "Kirby McInerney looks forward to bringing these experiences together to represent whistleblowers under the new DOJ Antitrust Whistleblower Program."
