It Ain’t Easy Being Clean: The Compliance Challenges of FCPA and Dodd-Frank: On-Demand program

Misery loves companies. U.S. federal enforcement officials have declared this to be the “new era” of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), and most executives are worried about their risk exposure, i.e, their chances of being miserable. Those who aren’t concerned should be. To keep their spirits up, corporations and their boards and executive teams will have to pay close attention to how FCPA enforcement is playing out, especially in relation to the relatively new Dodd-Frank provisions.
The future of enforcement is being widely discussed. The combination of rising global anti-corruption regulatory activity, mushrooming third-party risk, more protections and incentives for whistleblowers, more cooperation and competition among international enforcement agencies, and higher expectations for compliance means one thing: it’s time to get ready.
LexisNexis Presents: Best Practices for Complying with Anti-Bribery and Corruption Regulations
Global companies and their employees need to understand how the Dodd-Frank Act and the FCPA intersect, as well as how larger international investigations will proceed. Explore the current state of play during a free pre-recorded webinar. Our panel of experts will discuss these developments and ways that businesses can address challenges through risk assessment, due diligence, and management oversight.
Topics:
  • Domestic and international laws and enforcement efforts today
  • The motivations behind legislative reform and the results of recent cases
  • Causes of increased enforcement risks
  • Particular risks to financial institutions and medical device manufacturers
  • Special considerations: government clients, third parties, and acquisitions
  • Best practices for minimizing risk: risk assessment, due diligence, and management oversight
  • Standards for auditing and testing your anti-corruption compliance program

October 9/Minneapolis: Protecting Your #Trademarks in the Domain Name Big Bang

As the universe of internet domain names explodes from the current 22 generic top level domain names (gTLDs) to include over 1,400 new extensions, brand owners face multiple challenges and opportunities, including using a “Trademark Clearinghouse” slated to open in October. This session will explore:
  • “Digital archery” and other unpredictable and occasionally humorous highlights of the application process;
  • How brand owners can use the Clearinghouse to help protect their brands;
  • Some of the most hotly-contested and most promising gTLDs;
  • Internationalized (non-Latin script) gTLDs that will interest those with international operations or customers; and
  • Available dispute mechanisms both for gTLDs and for second-level domain names.

Come hear from attorneys who represent multiple new gTLD applicants on the latest developments in this rapidly expanding universe (no particle physics background required).

October 2/Sacramento: The Voting Wars - From Florida 2000 to the Next Election Meltdown - #MCLE

Richard L. Hasen
In 2000, just a few hundred votes out of millions cast in the state of Florida separated Republican presidential candidate Governor George W. Bush from his Democratic opponent, Vice President Al Gore. The outcome of the election rested on Florida's twenty-five electoral votes, and legal wrangling continued for thirty-six days. Then, abruptly, one of the most controversial Supreme Court decisions in history, Bush v. Gore, cut short the battle. Since the Florida debacle we have witnessed a partisan war over election rules. Election litigation has skyrocketed, and election time brings out inevitable accusations by political partisans of voter fraud and voter suppression. These allegations have shaken public confidence, as campaigns deploy “armies of lawyers” and the partisan press mobilizes when elections are expected to be close and the stakes are high.
Richard L. Hasen, a respected authority on election law, chronicles and analyzes the battles over election rules from 2000 to the present. From a nonpartisan standpoint he explores the rising number of election-related lawsuits and charges of voter fraud as well as the decline of public confidence in fair results. He explains why future election disputes will be worse than previous ones—more acrimonious, more distorted by unsubstantiated allegations, and amplified by social media.
