United States, United Kingdom and European Union: Whistleblower developments for multinational employers (Video Chat)

By , and 2 Mins Read

In brief

An influx of high-profile whistleblowing cases have made headlines in recent years, and claims (and awards) are on the rise. At the same time, more defined and greater protections for whistleblowers are coming into play in the US, UK and European Union. It’s essential that multinational employers be aware of the whistleblower regulations proliferating across the globe and the notable differences between regimes.

In this quick Chat Video, our Labor and Employment lawyers provide an overview of the changing landscape of whistleblower protections in the US, UK and EU. Our global team is regularly advising multinationals on:

  • How to create a “speak up” culture
  • How to build compliant whistleblowing systems (including navigating data privacy protections)
  • Best practices for management training
  • Sensitive cross-border investigations
  • How to draft and implement a global Code of Conduct

Speakers: Joseph Deng, Krissy Katzenstein and Julia Wilson.
