Martin Bloor, a member of Cozen O'Connor's White Collar Defense & Investigations Practice Group, and Linda Regis-Hallinan, of-counsel in the firm's White Collar Defense & Investigations Practice Group, will be speaking during this webinar. Businesses that fail to perform adequate pre- or post-acquisition Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and other anti-bribery due diligence in connection with mergers and acquisition may expose themselves to legal and business risks, both from the target’s past activities as well as from its actions going forward. With cooperation among the United States and foreign criminal and regulatory authorities related to the enforcement of anti-bribery laws on the rise, companies should take proactive measures to understand whether they are acquiring any FCPA issues in the course of a transaction and who may be liable for those issues. Companies should devise a sound strategy to mitigate risk associated with those issues, as well as protect against new issues that may arise.
Please join Cozen O’Connor’s White Collar Defense & Investigations Practice Group for a 60-minute CLE webinar, during which panelists will provide insight into potential FCPA risks and guidance on how businesses can try to mitigate those risks both pre- and post-acquisition.
Presenters will address, among other things:
-
FCPA successor liability
-
Impact of the structuring of a transaction on potential successor liability
-
Strategies to mitigate risk
-
Pre-acquisition anti-corruption due diligence
-
Post-acquisition anti-corruption due diligence
-
Post-acquisition compliance programs
CLE is approved in PA, NY, TX, and CA.
All other jurisdictions will be applied for upon request.
