Spies Among Us? Understanding and Demystifying the New Dodd-Frank Whistleblower Provisions

Thursday, December 9, 2010  |  12:00 - 1:00 PM EST

The Dodd-Frank Act directly impacts all public companies and others subject to the securities laws, and not merely financial institutions. The Act's whistleblower provisions are some of the most talked-about reforms, because they greatly expand existing law under Sarbanes-Oxley; it is not just about retaliation anymore. Under Dodd-Frank, whistleblowers now have a direct financial incentive to report securities law violations directly to the SEC, and can bypass internal compliance protocols. In doing so, they now stand to recover a reward of 10 to 30% of the financial penalties and disgorgement obtained by the government from the subject company.

On Thursday, December 9 please join Goodwin Procter partners from noon - 1:00 pm EST for an informative webinar on what this means for your company and what you can do to prepare yourself.
