WHAT IS A LAWYER OF TRUST?

A lawyer of trust – also known as an “ombudsman” or “ombudsperson” is an external lawyer appointed by a company. He or she acts as an external point of contact for all employees and persons who, when making “whistleblowing” disclosures, need an objective and confidential consultation.

Such whistleblowers are guaranteed absolute confidentiality and, if desired, anonymity when making contact with the lawyer of trust. The lawyer of trust has no influence over any investigations carried out by law enforcement agencies
