11:00 AM - 12:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time

The energy sector, particularly the oil and gas industry, has faced significant scrutiny under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), resulting in more than 50 prosecutions to date. The UK Bribery Act introduced comprehensive measures to address bribery, and it is considered one of the most stringent anti-bribery laws globally. Recent high-profile cases illustrate the ongoing enforcement efforts, including substantial fines and settlements for bribery schemes involving international operations. Join partners John Pease and Chris Warren-Smith as they discuss an overview of the statutes, voluntary self-disclosure initiatives, and deferred prosecution agreements in the United States, United Kingdom, and other jurisdictions.
