The topic of whistleblowers did not arise with the entry into force of the Law on the Protection of Whistleblowers of 14 June 2024. Long before that, our law firm was supporting clients in building whistleblowing procedures and systems, in explaining reported wrongdoing, dealing with its consequences and supporting those who choose to report the matter. With the unique experience of a law firm team that has been involved in employment law for decades, we have particular support and expertise in finding the best solutions, tailored to the particular work environment.

For our clients:

• we verify existing whistleblowing procedures to ensure compliance with the Law on the Protection of Whistleblowers of 14 June 2024; including those in force in international organisations;
• we develop and implement comprehensive whistleblowing regulations;
• we develop organisational charts for the units responsible for receiving and handling whistleblowing (ethics/ compliance/ legal/ HR);
• we advise on the assessment and investigation of individual cases reported by whistleblowers;
• we conduct investigations;
• we provide training on whistleblower protection and all issues related to the whistleblowing system.

Our recent successes:

• we designed systems and implemented internal reporting procedures for dozens of clients in connection with the entry into force of the Whistleblower Protection Act;
• we created a procedure for receiving and handling internal whistleblowing reports, and coordinated the process of its implementation, for an international capital group from the FMCG industry, in dozens of client subsidiaries operating in and outside the EU, coordinating, among other things, the work of foreign law firms in the Ius Laboris network;
• we adapted global whistleblowing procedures to the requirements of Polish law at a dozen international clients with subsidiaries in Poland;
• we published a comprehensive commentary to the Law on the Protection of Whistleblowers of 14 June 2024, as well as many other publications devoted to this issue.
