Developments in Whistleblowing

Terran Chambers and Sara Lewenstein presented “Developments in Whistleblowing” for Lorman Educational Services. Legal protections for employees who report illegal misconduct by their employers have increased dramatically over the past 30 years. Employees are taking advantage of these protections, and retaliation lawsuits are on the rise.

Covering the basics as well as recent developments in whistleblowing law, Terran and Sara discussed:

• Practical considerations for how to reduce the risks of whistleblower-retaliation lawsuits
• How to identify state and federal whistleblower protections for employees
• How to recognize whose and what conduct whistleblower laws protect
• New whistleblowing legislation and notable court decisions
