No Comments on Digging Deeper Episode 4: Public Sector Lessons for the Corporate Investigator

What changes when an investigator leaves the public sector and joins the private sector? For Brian Cairl, senior managing director and director of investigations of the Americas, his toolkit from his time in law enforcement helped the transition – including those lessons learned from some of the bizarre cases he discusses in this episode of Digging Deeper.

According to Brian, “As an investigator, it’s important to be nimble and to be able to adjust at a moment’s notice.” Over the last three decades, Brian has leveraged his own advice and honed complex corporate investigation skills in cases covering corruption, municipal fraud, intellectual property infringement, product diversion, counterfeiting, and employee misconduct. Tune in to “Digging Deeper, Episode 4: Public Sector Lessons for the Corporate Investigator” to learn more.

Lisa Fine on the One-Year of Covid

No Comments on Lisa Fine on the One-Year of Covid

Welcome to the Great Women in Compliance Podcast, co-hosted by Lisa Fine and Mary Shirley.
In last week’s episode, Mary talked about her rants and raves, and when Lisa listened to that episode, it was so interesting and thought provoking that Lisa was inspired to comment on the discussion that Mary started and provided her own thoughts.
Lisa had a front-row seat when Mary endured the misogynistic situation she discussed, and was shocked by it at the time, and also surprised that the same individual reached out to her! Lisa thought a lot about how your generation impacts how you view misogyny and how one responds (spoiler alert: Lisa is Gen X, and is more resigned to the behavior, and admires how Mary identified it so quickly and addressed it).
Lisa has also thought a lot about the term “thought leader,” and what that means to her. We all have the ability to be thought leaders, whether it is visible through LinkedIn, in your work, or just within our community. In other words, you don’t have to be recognized publicly as a thought leader to be one.
Lastly, she talks a bit about how this is the 1-year anniversary of COVID-19 for her and most of the US, and where she thinks we are, where things are going, and reminds us to be kind to ourselves, each other and our E&C community.
And, on that note, we hope that you will contribute your thoughts and opinions for the podcast for the 100th episode, coming soon.
We like to share advice and tips on the podcast via our learned guests but some things don’t have immediate answers, including some aspects of what we’ve canvassed today. If you’d like to share your thoughts on the issues raised, we invite you to connect with us at GWICpod@gmail.com.

No Comments on Cordery Head to Head @ Home: Eric Sinrod on predictions for the major TechLaw events of 2021

In this edition of Cordery Head to Head @ Home Cordery’s Jonathan Armstrong talks to Professor Eric Sinrod from his home in California.
It’s a look ahead at what 2021 might mean for the world of technology.
We recorded the film on 19 January 2021 – the last day of the Trump administration.
Listen to the episode now:

Eric & Jonathan try to predict 5 major TechLaw events or trends for 2021 covering issues in the US and in Europe. It is a subjective list in the style of Eric and Jonathan’s previous TechLaw10 predictions (here www.techlaw10.com)
They predict:

Continued increases in cybercrime. Eric looks at the effects of the recent US Presidential Elections and the changing role of social media in elections. Jonathan looks at the trend of cybercriminals trained by hostile governments moving into the private sector and a rise in cybermercenaries. Jonathan also talks about the rise in cybercrime exploiting working from home during the pandemic. He also predicts a new trend of ‘cybershorting’ with ransomware gangs using their tools and techniques to manipulate stock markets to their advantage.
Eric talks about section 230 of the US Communications Decency Act and whether it can last in the new world of social media. Jonathan thinks the banning of Trump from social media will lead to a wider debate about online content and censorship.
Jonathan looks at the challenges of regulating tech giants and the coming together of anti-trust/competition law, privacy and fair trade rules. He predicts that the size of bigtech operators will increasingly be a global political issue. He also predicts that these disputes will spill over into smaller tech players, including equipment manufacturers too. Eric talks about moves to split up bigtech operations (including Facebook) in the US.
Eric looks at the challenges of going back to work after the pandemic. Will the world return to normal and what happens when people don’t feel its safe to return to the workplace? There is more detail on some of these considerations here bit.ly/cvrtw
Jonathan looks at a bumper year for GDPR in 2020 but predicts a stormy year for data transfer in 2021 with the challenges of the collapse of Privacy Shield, the issues with Standard Contractual Clauses and the issues brought about by Brexit. There are more materials on this here https://bit.ly/pshielddead & here https://bit.ly/brextemp

No Comments on The ECI 2021 Global Business Ethics Survey

Compliance into the Weeds is the only weekly podcast which takes a deep dive into a compliance related topic, literally going into the weeds to more fully explore a subject. This week Matt and Tom take a deep dive into findings, conclusions and recommendations in the ECI 2021 GBES. Some of the issues we consider are:

What were the key findings of the GBES?
What pressure are employees under?
What were the findings on observed misconduct and the reported misconduct?
Troubling findings on retaliation.
What has been the impact of Covid-19 on compliance and ethics?
What were the conclusions and recommendations?
