This was a riveting episode of Between The Briefs with Steno – this time Adrian Cea chatted with Jason T. Brown, a particularly prominent whistleblower attorney, former FBI Special Agent and Managing Partner at Brown LLC. 

Jason is no stranger to the intricacies of whistleblower law, and in the course of this discussion, he explains how statutes like the False Claims Act protect individuals while enabling them to expose heinous fraud across Medicare, tax, and securities.

There can often be a ‘David v Goliath’ feel to many of the whistleblower cases, and navigating that dynamic is a fascinating aspect of whistleblower law. Facing down powerful corporations and strategically managing the case to an outcome that actually makes an impact is a delicate thing and people interested in working in this area could pick up a lot from Jason’s stories.

We also get a look at the multifarious ethical and professional roadblocks that whistleblowers have put in front of them and explore the beginnings of a roadmap to protecting their rights and creating a culture of accountability in corporate America.

Tune in now if you’re a legal professional or just interested in the intersection of law, ethics, and justice.
