The SEC's New Regulations to Dodd-Frank: Whistleblowing On Steroids
Be the first to learn about the SEC's newly issued regulations to the Dodd-Frank Act's whistleblower provisions, learn best practices for identifying and minimizing risks related to SOX and Dodd-Frank whistleblower claims, and gain insight into the effective methods of defending these claims where litigation is unavoidable.
