Leading whistleblower lawyer Jason Zuckerman will deliver an address at the NRS Fall 2017 Compliance Conference in Las Vegas on October 26th titled “Whistleblower Program: The ‘Game-Changer’ in Securities Enforcement and Compliance.”
Just seven years after Congress enacted the Dodd-Frank Act, whistleblowers have enabled the SEC to recover one billion dollars in penalties and protect investors by halting ongoing fraud schemes. And fifteen years after Congress enacted robust protection for corporate whistleblowers, Sarbanes-Oxley whistleblowers are obtaining substantial jury verdicts for whistleblower retaliation. Earlier this year, a former in-house counsel who alleged that he was fired for reporting FCPA compliance issues was awarded nearly $14 million at trial. Whistleblower rewards and protections pose challenges and provide opportunities for Ethics and Compliance professionals. This session will discuss recent developments under federal whistleblower rewards and protection laws, with a focus on compliance whistleblowing:
