Whistleblowing Lawyers

In a society ever aware of corruption and unlawful practice, whistleblowers have an important role to play in exposing wrongdoing and dangerous practices in the workplace. Opal Legal has been recognised as a Top 200 UK Law Firm.

Our Service for Whistleblowers

As an employee, you may be obliged to raise a concern about your employer’s practices at some point in your career. In so doing, you may require advice regarding how to blow the whistle so that you qualify for relevant whistleblower protections. You may also be worried about the repercussions of blowing the whistle and require advice on any detriment suffered as a consequence.

Our Employment lawyers are very experienced in advising individuals on the rights and protections afforded to whistleblowers. We also assist whistleblowers in asserting their rights not to be unfairly and unlawfully treated as a consequence of having made a protected disclosure in the public interest, including suffering detriment or dismissal.

Examples of whistleblowing include:

  • Criminal offences;

  • Breach of any legal obligation;

  • Miscarriages of justice;

  • Danger to the health and safety of any individual;

  • Damage to the environment; or

  • The deliberate concealing of information about any of the above.
