International Seminars, Presentations, and The Capacity to Successfully Implement Educational Programming

Stephen M. Kohn and the partners at Kohn, Kohn and Colpainto have given numerous U.S. sponsored seminars and presentations on topics related to international whistleblowing and anti-corruption, and has organized numerous educational programs.

At Kohn, Kohn & Colapinto, our commitment to justice is matched by our dedication to pro bono work. We believe that knowledge should be shared, especially when it can serve to uplift communities, empower whistleblowers, and promote accountability and transparency. As champions of whistleblower protection, our team has been at the forefront of presenting, educating, and advocating for the rights and protections of those brave souls who stand against wrongdoing.

The NWC’s Board Chair and Executive Director are Adjunct Professors of Law at Northeastern University. Stephen Kohn is the most published author on whistleblower law books, including the first-ever legal treatise on whistleblower law. His most recent book, Rules for Whistleblowers (Lyons Press, 2023), has won numerous awards from Publishers Weekly and the New York Big Book Award and has specific chapters focused on FCPA prosecutions, transnational whistleblower laws, and AML provisions.

International Presentations

We are proud to have been involved in various notable presentations and events, both domestically and internationally, where our expertise has been sought to guide regulatory bodies, state departments, and grassroots initiatives.

Commencing in 2008 the NWC has traveled internationally extensively at the invitation of the U.S. Embassy, AID, foreign governments, anti-corruption NGOs, and human rights defenders to make presentations on whistleblower protections in numerous countries, many at the direct invitation of the U.S. Embassy.

Presentations have been made in Bosnia (embassy invitation), Brussels (testimony before EU Parliament), Denmark (parliamentary testimony), Geneva (UN Human Rights Council), Hungary (embassy invitation), Island of Jersey, Kenya (AID/NGOs), Israel, Mexico (embassy invitation and invitation from Tec de Monterrey), Montenegro (embassy invitation), Paris (OECD invitation), Peru (International Annual Conference on Integrity, Office of the Comptroller General, Republic of Peru), Poland (EU Security council), Serbia (embassy invitation), South Korea, Thailand (AID), and the United Kingdom (Parliament invitation).

As part of these visits, the U.S. Embassy has arranged one-on-one meetings with various Members of Parliament, ministers of justice, anti-corruption committees, local judges, international news media representatives, numerous NGO meetings, and in one instance a personal meeting with the President of Bosnia – all to have various countries adopt effective whistleblower protection laws.

Here is a look at some of the significant engagements in the United Kingdom that reflect our unwavering commitment to whistleblowing and justice:
