Lex Urban comments on a whistleblower award recently received by an employee with compliance-related job responsibilities at a company - only the third time in eight years that an award has gone to an individual with compliance or internal audit duties.

Lex Urban, special counsel at Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft wrote in a blog that the hardship suggests company retaliation. “The whistleblower in this case suffered some form of retaliation, which should be a key focus of any company’s whistleblower policies as that alone can be the basis of an enforcement action,” Urban wrote.
