Mattias Strathmore

Whistleblower counsel

I represent people who know something and have not yet told anyone.

For the first years of my career I defended companies in government investigations. I learned how a compliance department reads a complaint, what an agency looks at first, and how little it takes for a quiet matter to become a loud one.

Then I changed sides. The people I had been meeting across the table were often the ones who raised the concern in the first place, and few of them had anyone to ask.

I keep a small practice so that every report is read by the lawyer who will handle it. I take few matters, and I will tell you early if yours is not one.

Terms I keep with every client

  • Your note stays with me

    I read what you send, and no one else in the office does.

  • The cost comes first

    You see in writing what I am paid and what costs are before you decide.

  • You decide each step

    I advise and you choose, including whether to go on at all.

If it is on your mind, write to me.

A few lines from a personal device is a good first step. I will say plainly whether I can help.

Contingency fee: no fee unless there is a recovery. Case costs are explained in writing before you sign.
