International anti-bribery and corruption

Print

Anti-bribery laws are tightening up globally. Strictly enforced U.S. laws such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices act (“FCPA”) are sharing the stage with stricter legislation from other countries: the new U.K. Bribery Act is scheduled to come into force on 1 July 2011.

This event is being organised together with the Danish American Business Forum, and will provide an overview of the anti-bribery regulatory and enforcement landscape, the application and relevance of international anti-bribery legislation for businesses operating in Denmark, and highlight best practices for companies and individuals affected. The FCPA as well as the U.K. Bribery Act will be covered. We will encourage participation and debate from all delegates and welcome the sharing of experiences or issues.

Fulbright & Jaworski L.L.P

Partners from the U.S. and U.K. practices of the international law firm of Fulbright & Jaworski will provide an introduction to U.S. and U.K. anti-bribery regulation and enforcement.

The speakers will address issues including:

• Who is subject to the legislation and what is the relevance for Danish and global companies?
• What steps should Danish and global companies take to ensure compliance?
• What are the penalties for non-compliance?
• What can we learn from the existing U.S. & U.K. legislation?
• What are the differences between the U.S. and the proposed new U.K. legislation?
