Law enforcement agencies in many developed and developing countries have increasingly come to rely on whistleblowers as important parts of the corporate liability puzzle. Some of biggest scandals uncovered have been brought to light by whistleblowers. This explains the emphasis on laws in several jurisdictions protecting those that do decide to expose hidden crime. But given the impact of corporate crime on democracy and rule of law, should whistleblowing be relied on as the missing piece in cases of corporate criminal liability or should it be treated as the last resort when all else fails?
LawTransform is participating in the “8. mars 2020” parade as a group for the first time this year!
We will meet up at Jekteviksbakken 31 on the day at 16.15, then walk from there to Torgallmenningen. If you prefer, you can join us there.
All are warmly welcome to be part of our group and to carry banners with us!
Looking forward to seeing many of you!
