Whistleblowing(内部告発）とその報復行為を理解する
Whistleblowing and Retaliation Claims
About: Please join Paul Hastings LLP and JCCI for a special legal lunch seminar designed to increase your understanding of whistleblowing and retaliation claims. Since the financial crisis of 2008, the number of employees who
report corporate activity they believe to be dishonest or illegal has increased steadily. So, too, has the number of
federal, state and local laws that incentivize whistleblowers with financial awards and protect them from retaliation.
Employees have long been protected under a variety of employment laws, but the opportunities to become a
“whistleblower” have broadened as have the penalties for retaliation. (Note: This seminar will be conducted in English.)
