Responding to the New Age of Worldwide Anti-Corruption Legislation
Cassels Brock is honoured to have been selected to lead a discussion on prominent anti-corruption
regulations from around the globe at the 2014 Association of Corporate Counsel’s Annual General Meeting in
New Orleans, October 28–30, 2014.
Program Overview
Investigations into suspected non-compliance with anti-corruption regimes pose significant legal, financial and
reputational risk to an organization. The rise in aggressive enforcement by global regulatory authorities leaves
little doubt that businesses operating abroad or acquiring entities with operations must scrutinize their
activities and compliance programs proactively to identify organizational risk and build a robust
organization-wide compliance program. Explore practical issues and considerations raised by anti-corruption
legislation in the United States, Canada and other jurisdictions, including best practices for handling
investigations into potential breaches and dealing with enforcement, trends and developments for effective
mergers and acquisitions, anti-corruption due diligence and proactive strategies, including self-reporting of
potential breaches.
