How does an individual find the courage to expose fraud at the core of a company’s mission, when the Board is looking the other way, leadership is aggressively concealing the truth and the media is lauding the CEO as the next Steve Jobs?

As an attorney, how do you counsel a client in navigating that difficult path?

Join us in spending an evening with people who skillfully confronted these challenges head on.

“Advocating for the Truth at Theranos” features a discussion between Theranos whistleblower Tyler Shultz and his attorney Mary Inman, moderated by 2012
BASF & JDC President Kelly Dermody, followed by a Q & A session.

Tyler Shultz’s initial enthusiasm for Theranos crashed head first into the reality that the promise of their game-changing blood testing machine was nothing but
smoke-and-mirrors. His relentless willingness to advocate for the truth contributed to the eventual fraud conviction of Elizabeth Holmes, Theranos CEO.

Tyler’s counsel, leading whistleblower attorney Mary Inman, skillfully guided a route through the complex legal challenges that arose from Tyler’s determination
to step forward in the face of aggressive resistance from Theranos and a media frenzy.
