Whistleblowing in law firms webinar

Overview & Audience

There has been a growing focus in recent years on whistleblowing issues within the legal sector and it is important, both from an employment law and a regulatory perspective, to ensure that where whistleblowing concerns arise, they are dealt with appropriately.

Join us for a webinar where we will be exploring law firms’ whistleblowing obligations, potential regulatory exposures and practical steps to take to address them.

This webinar will be led by Fergal Cathie, our lead regulatory lawyer for law firms, Chris Holme who works with a number of law firms in relation to people issues and leads our employment team’s professional services sector group, and Niya Phiri from our law firm liability, regulatory, disciplinary and investigations team.
