FCPA and National Security Series![]() Daniel L. Stein ![]() Matthew Axelrod ![]() Kara Brockmeyer ![]() Mark F. Mendelsohn ![]() Christine E. Savage PART I: Sanctions as the New FCPA: The Increasing Overlap of Anti-Corruption and Economic Sanctions – and the Anticipated Impact on Your Compliance Strategy Last year, the Biden Administration announced that fighting corruption was a core U.S. national security interest and announced its intent to fight illicit finance. In addition, as a result of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine earlier this year, the United States began to issue increasingly punishing economic sanctions and export controls, and Biden administration officials have begun publicly signaling their intention to aggressively enforce them. The overlap of sanctions and FCPA was confirmed earlier this year when Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco emphasized the importance of sanctions and export controls as a DOJ priority, explaining that one way to think about this is as sanctions being the new FCPA. As such, legal and compliance professionals should heed this comparison and take steps to leverage internal resources to strengthen compliance across the board. In this session, our panelists will explore the interplay and overlap of anti-corruption, national security and economic sanctions. Topics of discussion will include:

The New Realities of Corporate and Individual Liability Risks: Defense Counsel Perspectives on the DOJ’s Enforcement Posture and the Path Ahead![]() Eric B. Bruce ![]() David N. Kelley ![]() Laura N. Perkins ![]() Ryan Rohlfsen ![]() Steven E. Fagell Almost two full years into the Biden Administration is a great time to assess whether the Administration and DOJ are making good on their pledge to surge resources in order to combat corporate crime. The assurances made by the DOJ suggest that they will be routing resources back to investigating financial crimes and also signal that would-be corporate defendants should expect a renewed wave of inquiries. In this session, leading defense counsel will highlight the new realities and some of the areas that the DOJ surge in resources will be allocated, such as:

Compliance Under Pressure: The High Stakes, Evolving Compliance Role, and the Future of Individual Accountability, Global Program Expectations and Certification![]() Lauren Kootman ![]() Christopher Cestaro ![]() James Gargas ![]() William Jacobson ![]() Darryl Lew The Administration and enforcement agencies are putting more resources behind the evaluation of corporate compliance programs than ever before. In addition, when the agencies are considering how to resolve a case with a company, they are increasingly asking for interviews with compliance personnel and data on the effectiveness of a compliance program; they are not just looking at whether a company has a strong program on paper. The enforcement agencies want to see that the compliance personnel are qualified, trusted by the company, and committed to the goals of the compliance program.

FCPA and National Security Series![]() Andrew Adams ![]() David C. Rybicki ![]() Leo Tsao PART II: On March 2nd, the DOJ announced the creation of the interagency Task Force KleptoCapture (the Task Force) to enforce the sanctions, export restrictions, and economic countermeasures against Russian officials and oligarchs in response to the conflict in Ukraine. The formation of the Task Force follows an increased awareness of the destabilizing threat of kleptocracies to national security, as outlined in a June 2021 White House National Security Memorandum that established the fight against corruption as a core national security policy. The Task Force works cooperatively with the transatlantic task force that President Biden, leaders of the European Commission, France, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, and Canada announced in February. Where violators cannot be detained, assets will be seized and forfeited; and information will be shared with foreign partners to further assist with the identification and recovery of assets abroad. In this session, our panel of exports will discuss the resources and tools that the Task Force is leveraging for enforcement, such as:
