A week of online discussions via various webinars for me :) This time on #whistleblowing regulations, its aims and practicalities - a topic a bit off my usual radar but something that might raise quite a number of questions from clients in the near future as Estonia enacted the relevant regulation only as of 1 September 2024 (way later than required).

Another webinar this week from our #attorneys! Partner Pirkka-Marja Põldvere and attorney-at-law Epp Lumiste discussed the aims and practicalities related to the new #whistleblower's act, enacted by the Estonian government with quite a delay compared with EU directive requirements. Even though minimum requirements were taken over, it remains to be seen how the law would be relied on (or not) in practice. One way or another, this would increase the work load of lawyers (advising clients on preparing the internal rules and systems for reporting, employment disputes etc., and responding to client questions as to is it really necessary to set up all those systems compared to current systems in various enterprises). Thanks to 🙏 Addenda Koolitused for inviting us and organising the webinar, as well as to the audience, especially for the questions during the webinar!
