21st Annual IBA Anti-Corruption Conference

25 Jun - 26 Jun 2025

Session information

Panel one: The current state of anti-corruption enforcement

Description

This Session will cover various aspects of global anti-corruption efforts, including the latest guidelines and priorities set by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) for enforcing the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), the implications of these guidelines for U.S. economic interests, and practical impacts on international cooperation and enforcement. The panel will also explore the responses from the U.K. and France to these new U.S. priorities, the introduction of new legal requirements in the U.K., and the broader implications for multinational companies operating in a challenging regulatory environment.

DOJ's FCPA Enforcement Guidelines, which aim to limit undue burdens on American companies operating abroad and target enforcement actions against conduct that undermines U.S. national interests, will be examined seasoned practitioners.  The panel will also address the increased risks of anti-corruption enforcement and best tools and strategies for companies to mitigate these risks. These discussions aim to provide a comprehensive understanding of the evolving anti-corruption enforcement landscape and offer practical guidance for companies navigating these challenges.
