Compliance and Ethics

Over the past year, The Federal Trade Commission and the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice have proposed new rules on non-competes and for merger filings, and have released a proposed set of new Horizontal Merger Guidelines. If adopted, these rules and Guidelines would constitute dramatic changes to the current state of US antitrust law, and even the US economy generally. Join the Compliance and Ethics Network along with Womble Bond Dickinson attorney, Lee Van Voorhis and Perseus General Counsel Heather Pruger for a discussion of these proposed changes and their consequences.

Did you know that the U.S. enforcement agencies imposed nearly $11 billion in fines against U.S. and foreign companies that violated anti-bribery laws? In some of these cases, employees don't recognize certain activities as improper and end up violating the laws without even knowing it. That's why ACC is hosting this must-attend Webcast, where you ‘ll obtain the foundational knowledge needed to mitigate bribery and corruption risks that can harm your company's reputation, incur steep financial costs—and may result in the imprisonment of your colleagues. First, this program provides a basic background of foreign and domestic anti-bribery statutes as currently interpreted by case law and the U.S. Department of Justice guidance. Second, you'll learn about the potential red flags and risk-ranking measures that in-house counsel can use to focus on key areas. Finally, you'll receive resources for addressing a due-diligence or enforcement inquiry.
