Mary Inman is a partner at Whistleblower Partners LLP, a boutique law firm specializing exclusively in representing whistleblowers under the various U.S. whistleblower reward programs. We discuss high-stakes whistleblower cases, including her representation of Tyler Schulz at Theranos and Frances Haugen at Facebook (Meta). We delve into the significance of the U.S. Whistleblower Reward Programs, and their impact on corporate transparency. We also talk about cases involving the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) in the international context. Reflecting on the recent tragic loss of Boeing whistleblower John Barnett, we discuss prevention strategies, mental health issues, and the evolving landscape of whistleblower protections. We conclude with some advice for board members on fostering a culture of accountability within organizations.
