October 23: NYC + Philadelphia + Webcast - International Developments in Anti-Corruption Enforcement #MCLE

With the implementation of the UK Bribery Act and the increasingly aggressive enforcement of th Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the US and the UK have been at the forefront of global anti-corruption efforts. That has started to change in a dramatic way. Recent events in China and elsewhere in the world demonstrate that other countries are also getting serious about tackling bribery and corruption domestically. Multinational companies are increasingly vulnerable to local enforcement initiatives as well as to the extraterritorial reach of the Bribery Act and the FCPA. A thorough review of the effectiveness of each company’s anti-bribery policies and risk assessments is essential in ensuring compliance with anti-corruption legislation throughout the world.
In this seminar, Dechert panelists will:
  • Provide an overview of anti-corruption laws in China
  • Discuss changes in the enforcement landscape in China, including a discussion of the recent raids and investigations undertaken by the Chinese authorities
  • Provide an overview of recent anti-corruption developments in the US, the UK and the rest of the world
  • Provide practical advice on steps companies can take to protect themselves
  • Provide practical advice on what companies should do if they are the subject of a raid, including a discussion of e-disclosure and data protection considerations
Please confirm your attendance by Friday, October 18.
