In the new federal enforcement landscape corporations are squarely in the crosshairs.  From transnational criminal probes and increased individual accountability to state-driven consumer protection and healthcare fraud crackdowns, enforcement agencies are ramping up investigative activity across many sectors.

In this timely webinar, Troutman Pepper Locke’s White Collar Litigation + Investigations team will break down how shifting enforcement priorities are impacting corporate legal departments, and how lawyers can help clients proactively manage risk and respond effectively.  Whether you're advising on internal investigations, compliance, M&A due diligence, or litigation strategy, this session offers practical insights into the evolving threat environment.

Key Topics to be Covered:

  • Responding to Subpoenas, Civil Investigative Demands (CIDs), and Search Warrants amid rising DOJ and state AG activity;
  • Witness Representation & Proffer Strategy under the administration’s push for individual accountability;
  • Enforcement Trends Hitting Corporations:
    • Cartel and transnational crime-linked FCPA scrutiny,
    • Increased False Claims Act cases in healthcare and PE,
    • State-level crackdowns on data privacy, consumer protection & ESG,
    • Legal risks surrounding internal DEI initiatives;
  • Compliance & Internal Investigations: What still matters—even if you’re not a current target.
