Understanding Whistleblower Protocols for Companies: A 2014 Perspective Live Webcast
August 20, 2014
This is a must-attend event for anyone interested in understanding the significant issues relating to company whistleblower protocols.
Topics to be discussed include:
- The Age of the Whistleblower: The torrent of new legislation and regulations providing expansive protections for corporate whistleblowers continues unabated
- The growing number of federal and state laws which provide whistleblower protections, and make it easier for employees to reap financial rewards, has resulted in a significant increase in both government investigations and lawsuits by employees
- An update on key whistleblower laws and important legal trends, and a discussion of best practices for developing effective compliance and reporting programs to reduce the risk of whistleblower reports to regulators, as well as retaliation litigation
Course Fee: Registration is free to the first 30 registrants, courtesy of Foley. Once the first 30 registration spots are filled, Foley has arranged for others to register for the deeply discounted rate of $25.
Note: If CLE or CPE is needed, a minimal/partial processing fee is $49 for the registrant.
