Recent developments in whistleblower laws present challenges to public companies. Because employee allegations of wrongdoing can lead to government investigations, this is an area no corporate counsel can afford to ignore. The False Claims Act encourages whistleblowing in companies that receive funds from the federal government. The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act provides powerful financial incentives to report wrongdoing in public companies to regulators. It also strengthens laws protecting whistleblowers from retaliation by their employers.
In this webinar, an expert panel of white-collar litigators and corporate counsel discusses the new whistleblower laws, their legal and practical impact, and the best strategies for protecting corporate clients. Topics covered include:
II. SEC Whistleblower Bounty Rules Pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (20 minutes)
III. False Claims Act (15 minutes)
IV. Responding to and Investigating Whistleblower Complaints (35 minutes)
V. Determining Whether to Report to the Government (20 minutes)
VI. Attorney/Client Privilege and Work Product Issues (10 minutes)
VII. Questions and Concluding Remarks (10 minutes)
