In this episode I have back with me, fan favorite James Koukios, partner at Morrison and Foerster. This is Part 2 of a two-part series where we discuss the firm’s always great Top 10 International Anti-Corruption Developments newsletter. In this episode, we take a look at some of the key highlights from the February newsletter. In the most recent episode, we detailed some of the key developments from the January newsletter. We also have a special segment on the FCPA Opinion Release Procedure. Some of the highlights from the podcast include:
