About the Program
US companies are rapidly expanding into global markets and as they do so are confronted with new, complex laws and regulations that were not applicable to them when they were only in the domestic market. Today, countries around the world, including the United States, are intensifying the control on exports and imposing strict anti-bribery laws. Consequently, the US government is increasing its investigations, prosecutions and penalties related to international corruption cases and violations of Export Control laws.
This seminar will examine these areas of practice and provide attorneys, compliance officers, international trade professionals and others involved in the global market with information on the regulatory climate and new requirements of the Dodd-Frank Act, Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and Export Control laws.
 This program offers an opportunity to learn from an outstanding group of speakers and panelists who have substantial experience handling practical and legal issues in the FCPA and Export Control areas. The presenters are actively involved in helping companies develop compliance programs and structure their businesses to achieve success in the global market. The speakers and panelists bring diverse perspectives of the private sector and government officials. The panels and presentations will offer practical guidance for anyone involved in international trade, including corporate counsel, management and compliance officers.
