On December 15, 2009, The Employment Law Group® law firm participated in the launch of Voices for Corporate Responsibility (Voices). Voices is a project sponsored by Grant & Eisenhofer P.A., Mehri & Skalet, PLLC, and The Employment Law Group® law firm. Its mission is to help and encourage corporate employees to take a stand against corporate wrongdoing and irresponsibility. The project aims to facilitate participation in legislative and regulatory reform and provide a networking environment for those who have been injured as a result of wrongful conduct.
Among the speakers at the event were David E. Welch and Jon Oberg. Dr. Welch is the first whistleblower to win a case before an Administrative Law Judge under the Sarbanes-Oxley whistleblower provision. The Employment Law Group® law firm wrote an amicus curiae brief in support of Dr. Welch. Dr. Oberg is a TELG client currently bringing suit against several student lending companies seeking the return of $1 billion in “special allowances” wrongfully extracted from the United States Department of Education.
