Overview
Why You Should Attend
White collar enforcement continues to be a top priority of the Department of Justice, SEC, CFTC, and other U.S. and foreign agencies. In recent years, the government has continued to focus on traditional priorities such as accounting fraud, foreign and domestic corruption, insider trading, and AML/sanctions while the enforcement agenda has also broadened to include new areas such as cybercrime, cryptocurrency, and modern forms of market abuse such as spoofing. The social upheavals caused by COVID-19 have led to new avenues for enforcement and have also forced courts, the government, and defense counsel to adapt to new circumstances during investigations and litigation.
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.
