Author Biography

Since 1984, Stephen M. Kohn has been one of the world's most influential whistleblower attorneys. A partner in the law firm of Kohn, Kohn and Colapinto and chairman of the Board of the National Whistleblower Center, he also teaches whistleblower law at Northeastern University. Kohn's clients have set precedents, saved lives, protected the environment, and stopped tens of billions of dollars in frauds. Kohn won the first-ever $100 million whistleblower award.

The National Law Journal named Kohn as one of the top fifty "elite" plaintiff's lawyers in the United States; he is the only whistleblower rights lawyer to have achieved this distinction. Kohn wrote the first book on whistleblower law in 1985 and has helped draft numerous whistleblower laws, including the Sarbanes-Oxley, Dodd-Frank, and Whistleblower Protection Enhancement Acts. He lives in Washington, DC.
