Whistleblower Advocate and Experts at Gibson Dunn Discuss the Current State of the Dodd-Frank Whistleblower Program

According to top officials at both the DOJ and SEC, whistleblowers are an ever-increasing point of origination for FCPA cases. Whistleblowers and their attorneys are becoming more sophisticated about how – and when – they present information to the government, and the possibility of large awards based on the Dodd-Frank whistleblower program is attracting new tips from across the globe. A recent program sponsored by Securities Docket and Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher examined the state of the Dodd-Frank whistleblower program and provided practical insights on the reporting and award-claim process. The discussion was led by Gibson Dunn partner F. Joseph Warin and featured John W.F. Chesley, also a Gibson Dunn partner, and Erika A. Kelton, a partner at Phillips & Cohen who represents whistleblowers. For more from Chesley and Warin, see “Five Themes for General Counsel to Monitor With Respect to Dodd-Frank Whistleblowers and the FCPA” (Oct. 3, 2012).
