Oiling the Squeakiest Wheel: How to Handle a Whistleblower and Prevent Retaliation

U.S. companies increasingly face challenges related to whistleblowing and retaliation. With a new administration, changing enforcement priorities, new regulations, and regularly evolving case law, the legal landscape continues to shift in 2017. In this webinar, attorneys of Littler’s Whistleblowing and Corporate Ethics Practice Group will discuss key developments, including:

• How to spot a whistleblower, and how to respond
• Tolerance for leaks: When are they protected and when are they not?
• What to do when someone takes company documents to support a whistleblowing claim
• Compliance and in-house counsel: Must they “step outside the role” for whistleblower protection?
• New settlement language required to resolve whistleblower claims
• New regulations for the commodity futures trading commission
• Dodd-Frank legislative update
• SEC Rule 21F-17 (what enforcement actions have been taken)
