sponsored by jackson lewis llp

This InfoPAK provides in-house counsel with comprehensive information on the management and defense of employee whistleblower claims. Highlighting the liabilities and other challenges employers face in this context, it includes an overview of Sarbanes-Oxley Act and other federal whistleblower laws and the critical elements of an internal reporting mechanism (a so-called “whistleblower” program). These sections are followed by an in-depth review of whistleblower litigation. The final section discusses new whistleblower provisions in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (“ARRA”) and its implications for organizations that elect to receive federal stimulus dollars.
