The New FCPA Landscape: What In-House Counsel Need to Know
Event Description
The U.S. Department of Justice’s updated Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) enforcement guidelines, issued in June, underscore a shifting risk environment for global companies. While the Trump administration’s America-First agenda may influence priorities, the seriousness of enforcement remains unchanged. For in-house counsel, these changes create new pressures to ensure compliance programs are both robust and agile enough to withstand scrutiny.
Join us on Thursday, September 18 at 12pm ET / 9am PT as Charles Cain, Managing Director, Assurance, Ernst & Young LLP, Michael Harper, Partner, K&L Gates LLP and Neil Smith, Partner and co-head of White Collar Defense, K&L Gates LLP, unpack the latest DOJ guidance, highlight recent enforcement actions, and share practical strategies for managing FCPA risk in an evolving global landscape.
Key Takeaways:
- Understand the DOJ’s latest approach to FCPA enforcement and Corporate Enforcement Policy.
- Analyze recent cases and what they signal for future investigations.
- Identify practical steps to strengthen compliance programs amid shifting priorities.
- Gain strategies for mitigating global corruption risks in cross-border operations.
Who Should Attend:
This program is designed for in-house counsel at multinational companies who are responsible for compliance oversight, risk management, or advising business leaders on global operations.
