There has been a recent explosion of significant new rulings involving whistleblowing and retaliation claims brought under Sarbanes-Oxley, Dodd-Frank and Title VII. In one recent course, the SEC awarded $30 million to a whistleblower who provided key original information that led to a successful enforcement action.
In this CLE course, veteran employment law attorney Mark Oberti provides a detailed analysis of key recent decisions brought under whistleblower and retaliation laws. Mark will mainly discuss the Nassar case and its implications for the “cat’s paw” doctrine, the split regarding the “manager rule” in the circuit courts, third-party retaliation claims, termination cases & protected activities, the scope of Dodd-Frank’s anti-retaliation provision and Sarbanes-Oxley litigation in a post-Paraxel world. These are cutting edge topics more geared for attorneys who have worked in employment law. If you are not an employment law attorney, some of this material may be too advanced.
