There has been a lot of media attention paid to claims by whistleblowers, including a recent op-ed by two Maryland attorneys urging the General Assembly to pass stronger whistleblower legislation. Whether this happens or not, there are currently more than twenty-two state or federal statutes protecting whistleblowers, so as a Maryland employment law lawyer, you certainly may encounter at least one of these claims in the coming year. The bulk of the claims are coming from the financial services industry or from the ranks of government contractors, with healthcare related claims increasing as a major source of activity. A few of these cases have resulted in spectacular recoveries for the whistleblower.
