Lawyers are indispensable in this ecosystem, translating the legal protections enshrined in the EU Whistleblower Protection Directive into actionable strategies for whistleblowers. They navigate the legal complexities, ensure confidentiality, and advocate for their clients' rights. The collaboration between lawyers, civil society organizations, and trade unions is vital in creating a robust defense for whistleblowers. However, lawyers also face ethical dilemmas and practical challenges, particularly in high-profile cases.
In this episode of the third season of “Whistleblowing Now and Then”, titled “The Ecosystem Behind the Courage”, host Vigjilenca Abazi sits down with Nathalie de Montigny, the lawyer who successfully defended a parliamentary assistant reporting a case of harassment involving a Member of the European Parliament (MEP).
