InHouseBlog, which focuses on "news for inhouse counsel,"and is ably manned by Riker, Danzig, Scherer, Hyland & Perretti attorney Geoffery Gussis featured an interesting post this week regarding the impact of SOX on the rights of whistleblowers.

Essential reading for The Daily Caveat, as so much of Caveat Research's work involves identifying sources who may have potentially negative things to say about their employers or assisting a company in the process of an internal investigation. One never knows when he/she is going to cold-call or doorstep the next Jeffery Wigand or Sherron Watkins.

Inhouse has the linkage to a freely downloadable primer on this subject. Check out his comments and the primer link here.
