When the Whistleblower Is a Gatekeeper: Hanna participates in ABA panel

Murphy Anderson partner Mark Hanna was a panelist and moderator for a timely ABA Labor & Employment Law ethics panel entitled “Ethical and Strategic Issues when the Whistleblower is a Gatekeeper.”  The panel explored the myriad issues that arise when lawyers, accountants and compliance professionals blow the whistle against corporate fraud. The discussion probed these issues from the perspective of various statutes including, the False Claims Act, the SEC whistleblower provisions, SOX and OSHA-administered whistleblower retaliation statutes. 

Firm attorneys Mark Hanna, Ann Lugbill and Wes Turner presented a paper entitled “Embrace the Enemy Inside the Gates: Gatekeepers as False Claims Act Whistleblowers.”
