The Association of Corporate Counsel (ACC) is the world's largest organization serving the professional and business interests of attorneys who practice in the legal departments of corporations, associations, nonprofits and other private-sector organizations around the globe.
En 2014, el Congreso Federal mexicano promulgó el Código Nacional de Procedimientos Penales que, por primera vez en la historia, unificó las normas procesales para los enjuiciamientos en todo el país. Se introdujeron muchas novedades, incluyendo las reglas para procesar a las empresas, lo que ha servido de base para algunos casos interesantes. Aún queda mucho por desvelar, dada la redacción bastante precaria (y quizá incoherente) de las normas pertinentes (no sólo el código procesal nacional, sino también los códigos penales estatales). Esta sesión se centrará en sentar las bases (cuándo, y por qué razón, puede una empresa ser penalmente responsable), y a continuación identificará algunos de los retos tanto para los fiscales como para los acusados, ilustrándolos con casos reales e hipotéticos.

In the first ~45 days of the new Trump administration, immigration and ICE raids made the news almost daily. But what does that mean for employers? ICE raids are but one piece of the puzzle of an overall agenda of heightened enforcement. In this session, immigration attorneys Kelli and Dwight will discuss how heightened enforcement can impact all businesses, from a potential visit for ICE, to audits and other worksite investigations, to considerations for mergers and acquisitions, and more. Whether your company employs individuals needing sponsorship or not, the Department of Homeland Security has broad investigative powers to ensure all employers are compliant with laws requiring only the employment of authorized workers, and any investigation is costly and disruptive, but there are steps your company can take now to be prepared.
