What We Do
When an issue is exposed, we determine how to safely share it. Whistleblowers remain anonymous until the organization can perform due diligence and have required legal protections in place. We also provide guidance when criminal or environmental issues are reported.
An Overview of Whistleblower Protection under U.S. Laws
In the United States, there are laws protecting the rights of individuals who blow the whistle about wrong or illegal conduct.
While the decision to step forward and blow the whistle can be hard and difficult, potential whistleblowers can take comfort in knowing that there are many laws that protect the rights of bona fide whistleblowers.
