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 benchmark rates, insider trading, anti-money laundering deficiencies, accounting violations, foreign corrupt practices, and mortgage-related violations. Among the many issues in today’s white collar environment is determining the proper way to approach corporate versus individual liability. In addition, high-profile trials continue to offer important lessons and takeaways.

This unique program, now in its seventh 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
  • An update on the SEC’s enforcement priorities, including accounting fraud, broker-dealer violations, mortgage-related charges, and insider trading
  • Examination of emerging approaches to corporate vs. individual liability, using LIBOR and the Bank Secrecy Act as case studies
  • Review of trends in FCPA enforcement: evolving approaches to internal investigations, compliance best practices, and remedies
  • Overview of developments in industry-wide and cross-border investigations – such as LIBOR, ISDAfix, and foreign exchange - with emphasis on challenges for defense counsel
  • Lessons from recent white collar trials, and risk areas that compliance and in-house lawyers should be prepared to address

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.
