Recorded event now available
This seminar will discuss data privacy protection issues in the context of FCPA investigations and offer steps to comply with international privacy laws.
Description
The U.S. Department of Justice and Securities and Exchange Commission have ramped up FCPA enforcement. Employees working in other countries may assume a "when-in-Rome" attitude without realizing or understanding that such behavior may violate U.S. laws and regulations.
Thus, many companies must undertake internal investigations — or are subject to government investigations — into potential FCPA violations. Such investigations often take place in foreign countries, requiring the company to comply with that country's privacy laws.
In fact gathering and obtaining, reviewing and producing records, companies and counsel must be careful to comply with U.S. and other countries' privacy laws during investigations to avoid additional liability exposure.
Listen as our authoritative panel of attorneys examines the privacy law challenges inherent in FCPA investigations. The panel will outline best practices to comply with U.S. and international privacy laws and minimize the risk, costs and time involved.
