Financial Express quotes Phillips & Cohen partner Erika A. Kelton in its story about Barclays CEO Jes Staley’s “attempt to unmask a whistleblower.”
Surely the investigations “will pursue the companies that have sought to bully those who speak up,” according to Erika Kelton, a partner with Philips and Cohen LLP in the US representing whistle blowers. She said, “it is an important message and will potentially have a deterrent impact, possibly making companies think twice before they seek to undermine the anonymity of their internal reporting processes. When a company retaliates and harasses, it can have a chilling effect on others stepping forward.”
