For more than a decade, white collar enforcement has been a top priority for the Justice Department, the SEC, and other prosecutors and regulators. The government has targeted a wide range of business organizations and, in recent years, has focused heavily on prosecutions of individuals. The focus on individuals has led inexorably to more trials, and the past year has seen some notable successes and failures for the government. In today’s world, white collar investigations often transcend international boundaries. In addition, Congress has given the government new statutory authority, including Dodd- Frank, the STOCK Act, and increased white collar penalties. Prosecutors continue to use aggressive investigative techniques such as wiretaps, search warrants, and confidential informants.
This unique and well-established program, now in its fifth year, 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 and the District of New Jersey, the Department of Justice Fraud Section, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office, and the U.K. Financial Services Authority - as well as federal judges and leading defense practitioners about the current and future priorities for the government and the practical implications for your company or clients.
