    Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA)

    As the government ramps up investigations to root out corruption, rely on our former prosecutors to advise you on FCPA matters.

    Overview

    New geopolitical realities amplify the FCPA’s impact on your business practices. Trust our team to advise you on preventing and detecting violations and navigating or avoiding enforcement proceedings.

    We are former federal prosecutors with first-hand knowledge handling matters before all sectors of law enforcement. The combination of our experience and ability to provide counsel to and from anywhere in the world means you can count on organized, efficient, and cost-effective solutions for any FCPA need. We help you weigh your options each step of the way, whether responding to allegations of misconduct, preventing FCPA violations through robust compliance programs and audits, or gearing up for trial.

    Rely on us for internal investigation of FCPA-related matters, preparation of voluntary disclosures, and the defense of FCPA-related claims.
