Fcpa Compliance Report

In this episode, I visit with Jonathan Armstrong, partner at Cordery Compliance in London. We consider the recent payment by the international law firm Dechert of £20 million for its conduct and that of its former partner Neil Gerrard in the ENCR affair. The matter was certainly a dark day for Dechert and a black eye on the legal profession. Some of the highlights include:  Key areas we discuss on this podcast are: ·      What were the failures of the law firm?  ·      What led to the £20 million interim payment? ·      Will there be discipline against the law firm? ·      What is the role of a law firm to oversee investigations? ·      How are the implications of holding investigative data under GDPR going forward? ·      Who watches the watchers (and investigators)?  Resources Jonathan Armstrong on Cordery Compliance Hannah Walker in Law.com on the scandal Learn more about your ad choices.
