Overview

Why you should attend

Across a broad range of businesses – including most prominently the financial sector – the Department of Justice, the SEC, and other prosecutors and regulators are cracking down with an enforcement program of unprecedented vigor and breadth.  Advancing novel and creative theories, and exacting increasingly draconian penalties, the government has demonstrated, repeatedly and emphatically, that it is committed to aggressive enforcement.  “Headline” cases over the past year include Libor, insider trading, financial crisis offenses, and a series of high-profile public corruption prosecutions featuring colorful allegations and unconventional investigative techniques such as informants and surreptitious recordings.

This unique and vibrant program, now in its sixth 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, the Department of Justice Fraud Section, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission – 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.

What you will learn

  • Current enforcement priorities, including an assessment of trends and significant cases over the past year
  • Lessons from the recent insider trading trials, and risk areas that should be addressed by compliance and in-house lawyers
  • The SEC’s future enforcement agenda now that the financial crisis cases seem to be nearing completion
  • A focus on public corruption, with an assessment of recent significant cases brought by the Department of Justice in New York and elsewhere
  • An in-depth discussion of Libor as a case study of a complex, cross-border, industry-wide, multi-agency enforcement effort

Who should attend

This program is designed for lawyers who defend and prosecute civil enforcement actions and white collar criminal cases, as well as in-house and outside corporate counsel, and internal auditors and compliance officers.  Additionally, government attorneys, forensic accountants, and other experts and consultants who handle white collar internal investigations, civil enforcement actions and criminal prosecutions will find this program extremely valuable.
