Washington DC whistleblower lawyer Jason Zuckerman spoke at the ABA’s 2013 Annual Meeting about recently enacted federal whistleblower protections. The panel was titled “Ever Expanding Federal Whistleblower Protections: Increasing Rewards, Growing Risks” and covered recently enacted whistleblower laws, including the enhanced Sarbanes-Oxley whistleblower protections and the consumer financial protection whistleblower provisions of Dodd-Frank; the growth of federal whistleblower “bounty” programs, including the SEC whistleblower bounty program; the Department of Labor’s evolving approach to the adjudication of whistleblower claims; and best employment practices for minimizing whistleblower litigation risk.
