GUIDING WELL-INTENTIONED WHISTLEBLOWERS THROUGH THE LEGAL MINEFIELD OF CORPORATE INTERNAL INVESTIGATIONS
For more than 35 years, Steve Kardell has protected corporate executives from misdirected internal investigations, while simultaneously pursuing damages through whistleblower laws. Attorney Kardell’s approach has secured major settlements for clients who were unnecessarily made the targets of difficult and draining internal investigations.
Whistleblower law provides protection against employer retaliation. The Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX), Dodd-Frank and False Claims Acts are several of the most important and influential federal whistleblower statutes in the United States. Typically whistleblower legislation is supposed to protect employees who report systematic fraud or wrongdoing from:
* Termination
* Blacklisting
* Demotion
* Denying overtime or promotion
* Discipline
* Denial of benefits
* Failure to hire or rehire
* Intimidation
* Making threats
* Retaliatory reassignment
* Reduction of pay or hours
