The United States Supreme Court’s recent decision in Lawson v. FMR, LLC, resolved a circuit split and determined that the whistleblower protections of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 apply to private contractors that perform work for publicly held companies. As a result of this decision, private employers that do business with publicly held companies need to be cognizant that their employees may be covered by SOX’s whistleblower protections and will need to ensure that they have the necessary policies and procedures in place to encourage and protect whistleblowers. Join Roger Lane and Courtney Worcester as they review the Court’s decision and provide practical advice for companies and their counsel to minimize their exposure to whistleblower claims.
