Overview
Williams & Connolly’s Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) experience is broad in scope. The firm represents multinational corporations, other businesses, and senior executives in FCPA investigations by the Department of Justice (“DOJ”) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). We assist clients with FCPA issues in the context of securities class actions, civil litigation, arbitration and other disputes that arise out of FCPA investigations. We also regularly represent corporate and individual clients in internal investigations and advise corporate clients regarding their FCPA compliance programs.
The firm’s extensive experience in FCPA defense work and counseling spans the globe, including in key emerging markets like Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Mexico, and other locations across Africa, Asia, Europe, North and South America, and the Middle East.
Our attorneys are actively involved in FCPA issues outside of the firm. One partner authored a leading treatise, Corporate Counsel Guidelines, which is an invaluable resource for in-house counsel. Other partners have served as co-chairs of the American Bar Association’s FCPA and Transnational Criminal Matters Subcommittees and have lectured on FCPA-related issues.
