This CLE webinar will examine the current Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) landscape and the impact of the new administration, including the recently issued executive order (EO) pausing new FCPA enforcement, at least by the Department of Justice. After an initial overview of key provisions and compliance challenges under the FCPA, the expert panel will explore where things stand at present, along with notable enforcement actions from 2024. Ultimately, our panelists will provide their thoughts on what expect in 2025 and beyond, both under the FCPA and other regulatory regimes that overlap with the FCPA.

Description

The FCPA, the primary U.S. anti-bribery and anti-corruption (ABAC) law regulating U.S. companies and individuals outside the United States, has historically been the most aggressively enforced ABAC law in the world. In 2024, the U.S. government imposed penalties amounting to over $1 billion against companies in a broad range of sectors, including aerospace and defense, extractive industries, professional services, and software.

Even if the new Trump administration slows enforcement efforts, such as with the recently issued EO pausing new FCPA enforcement action, compliance obligations under the law will not disappear. Moreover, matters resolved in 2024 serve as a reminder of how the FCPA overlaps with other regulatory regimes, such as under U.S. export controls, that the Trump administration may expand and potentially enforce with gusto.

Listen as our expert panel provides an FCPA regulatory update. The panel will examine lessons learned from notable 2024 enforcement actions and what is likely to come next. The panel will also offer best practices for compliance.
