On Thursday March 23, 2017 at 9:00 a.m., Lloyd Chinn will speak on “Practical Advice and Tips for Managing Whistleblowing Employees: Where Do We Go After the Volcano Blows?” at the 2017 Midwinter Meeting of the ABA Section of Labor and Employment Law’s Employment Rights and Responsibilities Committee in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Chinn is a partner in Proskauer’s Labor & Employment Law Department and co-head of the Whistleblowing & Retaliation Group. He will join co- panelists Stacey A. Campbell, Campbell Litigation, P.C., Virginia “Ginger” Hardwick, Hardwick & Benfer LLC, and Gary Noah Savine, The Law Office of G. Noah Savine, Ltd.

This panel will tackle the challenges that employers and employees face when a whistleblower reports misconduct. Topics include subtle retaliation that can be actionable (such as “outing” a whistleblower), investigating a whistleblower’s disclosures without investigating the whistleblower’s motive, and holding a whistleblower accountable for performance problems without giving rise to a retaliation claim.
