We have designed a suite of training packages – for all staff, for managers and for compliance functions – to help our clients navigate the challenges associated with whistleblowing, and to help embed a healthy culture of speaking and listening up within their organisations.

• An Asia-headquartered bank: providing a comprehensive training programme to managers, control functions (such as Compliance, Legal and HR) and all staff, e.g. on their legal and regulatory obligations under whistleblowing laws, and how and why to speak up.
• The Whistleblowing Champion of an asset manager: providing one-to-one training on the director’s obligations under UK financial services regulations.

With employees increasingly feeling empowered (and being encouraged) to speak up, we often help our clients either by undertaking whistleblowing investigations for them, or by advising them on how to investigate concerns themselves

• A FTSE-listed company: undertaking a whistleblowing investigation into a board member following allegations of inappropriate personal conduct.
• An international asset manager: advising on a whistleblowing investigation into allegations raised by an ex-employee and reported to four global financial services regulators.

We regularly act for our clients in defending whistleblowing claims brought against them, and their senior executives, by current and former employees

• A global investment bank: advising on the defence to a high-profile and high-value whistleblowing claim in the UK, involving board members and other senior executives.
• An insurance company: advising on a whistleblowing and personal injury claim brought by a senior employee.
