The U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) has garnered significant media attention in the wake of bribery investigations in recent years. Join us for a discussion with Mike Koehler, the “FCPA Professor,” about what lies behind the sensational stories. You will learn when a kickback is just a kickback, what common themes appear across investigations, what drives the government’s big settlement amounts, the FCPA’s interplay with other laws, the recent focus on targeting individuals, and how the U.S. government has been expanding the scope of liability both within the U.S. and beyond its borders.
