Whistleblower lawyer Jason Zuckerman will speak at the ABA Section of Labor and Employment Law 13th Annual Labor and Employment Law Conference on a panel titled “Developments in Sarbanes-Oxley, Dodd-Frank and the SEC Whistleblower Program.” The past few years have seen major developments under Sarbanes-Oxley, Dodd-Frank and in the SEC Whistleblower Program. This panel will analyze some of the more significant changes, including interpretations of the Lawson decision regarding SOX’s coverage of contractors, the extraterritorial application of SOX, the ARB’s broadened interpretation of the contributing factor standard, the Digital Realty decision’s requirement of external reporting under Dodd-Frank, and the proposed changes to rules governing the SEC whistleblower program. Panelists will discuss the impact of these developments on internal compliance programs and on how counsel for employers and employees approach claims under Dodd-Frank and SOX.
The panelists are Christopher J. Collins, Sheppard Mullin Richter & Hampton LLP, New York, NY Megan Guenther, U.S. Department of Labor, Washington, DC Frances Nicastro, Barclays, New York, NY, and Jason Zuckerman, Zuckerman Law, Washington, DC
