What the FY13 NDAA’s New Whistleblower Protections Mean for Government Contractors

Event | 02.27.13, 12:00 AM UTC - 12:00 AM UTC

In recent years, Congress has enacted expansive protections for whistleblowers across virtually every major industry. The National Defense Authorization Act for FY2013 continues this trend by significantly enhancing whistleblower protections for government contractor employees, including extending coverage to:

  • Employees of subcontractors
  • Contracts and subcontracts with most civilian agencies
  • Disclosures that are made to management officials of the contractor or subcontractor
  • Reports of “abuses of authority” that undermine performance of a contract 

Join Crowell & Moring's team of Government Contracts, White Collar & Regulatory Enforcement, and Labor & Employment attorneys for a special free webinar that examines this statute in the broader context of whistleblower protections and its implications for your business and your employees. We’ll also explore emerging best practices, compliance tips, traps for the unwary, areas of uncertainty, and common questions, such as: How should employee concerns be handled? At what point does an employee become a whistleblower? How must a whistleblower be treated?

On Wednesday, February 27, 2013, from 2:00 - 3:00 pm EST, please join us for this webinar.

"The Tide is High New Guidance on Sea-Level Rise," The Environmental Law Section

On December 5, 2024, the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC) adopted the Regional Shoreline Adaptation Plan (RSAP). The RSAP is a region-wide plan for the San Francisco Bay shoreline that guides the creation of coordinated, locally planned sea level rise adaptation actions that work together to achieve a regional One Bay Vision. This includes BCDC’s guidelines for how local governments must meet the requirements of SB 272, a new State mandate that requires all local governments along the shoreline to prepare a Subregional Shoreline Adaptation Plan by 2034. Jon Welner will be the moderator and will be interviewing the Executive Director of the SF Bay Conservation and Development Commission (SF BCDC), which regulates all development in or near San Francisco Bay.
