Top Ten Questions Employers Want to Ask About Whistleblower Investigations, But Often Don't

In this presentation, investigations lawyers from Crowell & Moring will discuss the changes 2020 brought to managing employee-whistleblower investigations in the financial sector; the motivating factors behind the recent increase of external complaints and decrease in internal complaints; as well as nuanced challenges that come up in the intake, interview and close-out phases in whistleblower investigations. The Crowell team will also discuss developments in laws both in the US and abroad in this area, including the SEC’s program, EU Directive, NASAA Model Whistleblower Award Protection Act for the States, and less-heralded increase in certain global bounty laws.
