Overview

Why You Should Attend

In an increasingly global and coordinated fashion, the Department of Justice, the SEC, the CFTC, and other U.S. and foreign agencies are pressing forward with a white collar enforcement program of unprecedented scope and severity. With a spotlight on the financial services sector, the authorities are advancing novel theories and exacting increasingly draconian penalties. The government’s enforcement agenda is broad and complex, encompassing foreign corrupt practices, accounting fraud, market manipulation and other trading violations, securities fraud, cyber security, and public corruption.  Now more than ever, the government is focused on individuals as well as corporations.  

This unique program will give you the background and tools necessary to deal with white collar cases and civil enforcement actions, and to design and implement effective compliance and risk management strategies. You will hear directly from current and former high-level officials in many of the country’s top enforcement agencies – including the U.S. Attorney’s Offices for the Southern and Eastern Districts of New York, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and the U.S. Department of Justice Criminal and Civil Fraud Sections — as well as in-house counsel and leading defense practitioners, about the current and future priorities for the government and the practical implications for your company or clients.

What You Will Learn

• An update on the SEC’s enforcement priorities, including fraudulent sales practices, accounting violations, high-frequency trading issues, and insider trading

• A focus on the Yates Memo as it approaches the one year mark:  what has it meant for corporations and individuals?  The discussion will address increased civil enforcement against individuals. 

• Review of trends in FCPA enforcement: evolving approaches to internal investigations, compliance best practices, and remedies

• Lessons from recent white collar trials, and risk areas that compliance and in-house lawyers should be prepared to address

• Ethical issues in white collar investigations:  issues for in-house attorneys and outside counsel

Credit Offered: CLE and CPD
