Synopsis

Learn how whistleblowers have saved lives, stopped frauds, protected their jobs, and earned million-dollar rewards for doing the right thing in Rules for Whistleblowers, Stephen Martin Kohn’s seventh book on whistleblowing. This book is a fully updated and expanded revision of The Whistleblower’s Handbook,the first-ever comprehensive consumer guide to exposing workplace wrongdoing. Kohn’s thirty-seven rules highlight the “traps” facing whistleblowers today and address how to file anonymous cases and qualify for multi-million-dollar rewards. Kohn carefully explains complex rules and laws governing whistleblowing including the Dodd-Frank, IRS, and False Claims Acts, as well as detailed strategies for fighting retaliation. He also covers controversial issues such as taping, removing documents, and ignoring nondisclosure agreements.

Modernized laws have revolutionized the rights of employees both in the United States and internationally, enabling whistleblowers to be paid over $10 billion in rewards for doing the right thing. No employee should blow the whistle without knowing their rights. Too much is at stake.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Since 1984, Stephen M. Kohn has been one of the world’s most influential whistleblower attorneys. A partner in the law firm of Kohn, Kohn and Colapinto and chairman of the Board of the National Whistleblower Center, he also teaches whistleblower law at Northeastern University. Kohn’s clients have set precedents, saved lives, protected the environment, and stopped tens of billions of dollars in frauds. Kohn won the first-ever $100 million whistleblower award.

The National Law Journal named Kohn as one of the top fifty “elite” plaintiff’s lawyers in the United States; he is the only whistleblower rights lawyer to have achieved this distinction. Kohn wrote the first book on whistleblower law in 1985 and has helped draft numerous whistleblower laws, including the Sarbanes-Oxley, Dodd-Frank, and Whistleblower Protection Enhancement Acts. He lives in Washington, DC.
