Q If I experience sexual harassment at work, what can I do about it?
A Start by reporting the harassment internally. The organization is required to conduct a thorough investigation. If that doesn’t happen, file a complaint with the EEOC or state agency. You can also file a lawsuit. The law forbids retaliation for reporting discrimination or harassment.
Q What does it take to be a whistleblower?
A It takes persistence and specific knowledge of the fraud. I recently settled several cases regarding fraud in health care. The consequences were not just monetary; driven by profit, doctors performed unnecessary surgeries. Doctors, medical device manufacturers and pharmaceutical companies violate the law by providing financial benefits with the expectation of influence.
