International White Collar Crime Symposium Kickoff Reception

Description:
The past decade has witnessed dramatic changes in the global white collar enforcement landscape. Anti-corruption and other white collar enforcement is no longer limited to a few countries, and extraterritorial reach is no longer an exclusive feature of U.S. law. More broadly, the globalization of white collar enforcement has introduced new challenges, including in conducting internal investigations, engaging with law enforcement authorities, and reaching multijurisdictional settlements. At the same time, compliance standards have emerged as hot topics for companies operating worldwide.

Expert panels will address:
• Anti-corruption developments;
• Developments in other priority areas of international law enforcement;
• Global enforcement trends; and
• Challenges in conducting cross-border investigations.

This conference represents a unique collaboration between the New York City Bar Association and the International Bar Association, providing an interactive gathering of lawyers based in the United States and from around the globe. Participants will tackle challenging questions posed by the reality of enforcement authorities that are not always on the same page or, in some cases, reading from the same book. The symposium also will address cross-border compliance challenges and means of effectively combating them.  

The program will include a networking luncheon for all participants, as well as a kickoff reception the night before the main event.
