    The target audience for this seminar is HR professionals and any business owners.  Whistleblower law continues to develop at warp speed.  This session will review the latest developments, both in Minnesota and under Federal law, the proof necessary to defend whistleblower claims, strategies for internal investigations, attorney-client privilege issues, HR’s responsibility in relation to the company, and the unique challenges in litigating whistleblower claims.

    Objectives are:

    • Understand the difference between Minnesota and Federal whistleblower laws.
    • Learn how to investigate whistleblower claims.

    Understand the role of HR in whistleblower claims. 

    This seminar will be presented by Cynthia Bremer, managing shareholder of the Minneapolis office of Ogletree, Deakins, Nash, Smoak & Stewart, P.C.
