Whistleblowing can be tricky business that affects the daily lives of both the whistleblower and the target. 

Working with your lawyers, we will help you understand the legalities of whistleblowing and your legitimate concerns about retaliation.

Several laws protect whistleblowers but there must be compelling evidence to support their claims for the laws to apply. Under the law, whistleblowing is defined as disclosing information you reasonably believe is evidence of a violation of any law, rule, or regulation. It can also apply when there is gross mismanagement or a gross waste of funds, as well as when there is an abuse of authority or a substantial and specific danger to public health or safety.

Whistleblowers feel more confident in their role when they know what to expect, understand the whistleblowing process and have assurances on how it works.

Crisis PR experts know that the motives for whistleblowing can be misunderstood and are adept at advising clients on the potential implications of their actions.
