Welcome to the Hughes Hubbard Anti-Corruption and Internal Investigations Practice Group’s Podcast, All Things Investigations. In this podcast, host Tom Fox and returning guest Mike Huneke of the Hughes Hubbard Anti-Corruption & Internal Investigations Practice Group highlights some of the key legal issues in white-collar investigations, locally and internationally.
Mike Huneke is a partner in the firm’s Washington office. Among other things, Mike advises clients on navigating and resolving multi-jurisdictional criminal or Multilateral Development Bank (MDB) anti-corruption investigations. He assists companies subject to post-resolution monitorships or other commitments and designs and executes risk-based strategies for due diligence on third parties.
Key areas we discuss in this podcast:
- The commentary on mergers in the FCPA space is largely around post-acquisition.
- The reason for pre-acquisition due diligence.
- Questions a potential acquirer should ask before buying a business.
- Even if they don’t have a program for some voluntary due diligence, sellers with nothing to hide shouldn’t be scared of buyers asking questions.
- In advance of a sale, ensure you have clear records of tax considerations and that they are ready to be shared.
- The basic mandates from the DOJ around post-closing.
