An employee threatens to blow the whistle on shareholder fraud and testing irregularities at a publicly traded pharmaceutical company. To respond, the company must deal with issues such as:

  • Who should investigate the claims
  • What action toward the employee will be considered adverse action under the relevant statutes
  • Whether to terminate the employee for her own shortcomings
  • Whether her threats to go to the media are protected activity and
  • Whether the company may reassign her or discipline her for theft of company documents

Join us for an exclusive event for publicly traded or highly regulated employers now facing an inevitable onslaught of whistleblower and retaliation claims arising out of recent federal legislation. The program will present this complex scenario using video clips and a PowerPoint, then offer strategies that might prevent the problem from ever becoming a crisis. In addition, we will discuss the myriad issues facing employers and provide approaches and solutions for preventing and defending whistleblower claims.

Speakers:

  • Earl (Chip) Jones III, Office Managing Shareholder, Littler Mendelson
  • Edward Ellis, Shareholder, Littler Mendelson
  • Linda Jackson, Shareholder, Littler Mendelson
  • Neal Dittersdorf, General Counsel, Intersections Inc.
