New Whistleblowing Guidance for In-House Lawyers
The Law Society has introduced draft whistleblowing guidance as part of its evolving ethical practice framework for in-house solicitors, developed by Protect, a whistleblowing charity.
This guidance outlines key considerations for in-house lawyers before raising public interest concerns, including potential breaches of legal professional privilege and situations where a duty to whistleblow arises.
- Miscarriages of justice
- Damage to the environment
- Health and safety breaches
- Criminal offences
The guidance aims to clarify the conflicts between a solicitor's duty to whistleblow and client confidentiality.
