Whistleblowers on Wall Street

Whistleblowers on Wall Street: Dodd-Frank Whistleblower Developments 2016 (On-Demand Program)

Wednesday, September 14, 2016 | 6-8 pm CLE credit: NY: 2.0 pp CA: 2.0 general NJ: 2.0 general PA: 2.0 general On-Demand Program: $119 Member | $219 Nonmember

The Dodd-Frank Act ushered in a new era of whistleblower claims, protections, and complications for whistleblowers and companies like. While the SEC has rejected the vast majority of whistleblower claims, it has awarded more than $85 million to 32 whistleblowers in less than five years including one award for $30 million and another for $17 million.

This program will address key developments in the Dodd-Frank whistleblower program, with an emphasis on the following issues:
  • The SEC’s position on confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements, and its implications for internal investigations;
  • The impact of a whistleblower’s own involvement in the alleged wrongdoing;
  • Whistleblowers’ potential civil and criminal exposure for computer crimes, theft of trade secrets, and breach of non-disclosure agreements; and,
  • The unresolved split between the 2nd and 5th Circuits on reporting to the SEC as a prerequisite to a whistleblower retaliation claim.

A panel of practitioners with experience representing whistleblowers, defendants, and the government will discuss the legal and practical implications of these developments.

This program is intended for securities, employment and criminal defense lawyers, in-house counsel, and human resources personnel.
