Overview
Why You Should Attend
In recent years, the Department of Justice, SEC, CFTC, and other U.S. and foreign agencies have pressed forward with a white collar enforcement program of unprecedented scope and severity. The changes in the U.S. administration have created additional uncertainty about what to expect in this arena, but based on public statements of recent appointees, the government appears to remain committed to the prosecution of individuals as well as corporations. The authorities have continued to advance novel theories, coordinate with other law enforcement agencies around the globe, and exact draconian penalties. The government’s enforcement agenda is broad and complex, encompassing foreign corrupt practices, accounting fraud, market manipulation and other trading violations, securities fraud, cybersecurity, and public corruption.
This unique program will give you the background and tools necessary to handle white collar cases and civil enforcement actions, and to design and implement effective compliance and risk management strategies. You will hear directly from current and former high-level officials in many of the country’s top enforcement agencies, along with in-house counsel and leading defense practitioners, about the current and future priorities for the government and the practical implications for your company or clients.
This program is designed for lawyers who defend and prosecute civil enforcement actions and white collar criminal cases, as well as in-house and outside corporate counsel, and internal auditors and compliance officers. Additionally, government attorneys, forensic accountants, and other experts and consultants who handle white collar internal investigations, civil enforcement actions and criminal prosecutions will find this program extremely valuable.
