Welcome to the Hughes Hubbard Anti-Corruption and Internal Investigations Practice Group’s Podcast, All Things Investigations. In this podcast, host Tom Fox and members of the Hughes Hubbard Anti-Corruption & Internal Investigations Practice Group will highlight some of the key legal issues involved in white-collar and other investigations, both domestically and internationally. In this episode, I speak with Laura Perkins and Jan Dunin-Wascowicz about the intersection of international arbitration, anti-bribery, and anti-corruption compliance.
Laura Perkins is a Hughes Hubbard partner whose practice focuses on representing clients in Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and white-collar criminal investigations, including government enforcement actions and compliance counseling. Jan Dunin-Wascowicz is an expert in cross-border compliance and regulatory enforcement, multi-jurisdictional internal and government investigations, as well as transnational litigation and international arbitration in both commercial and investor-State contexts.
Key areas we discuss on this podcast are:
- How increased attention to anti-corruption compliance led to increased arbitration.
- The Biden administration has taken a strong position that foreign corruption and corruption, in general, can be a serious national security concern for the United States.
- Red flags are tools that identify risk areas of inquiry.
- The outcomes that can arise when a claim of corruption is brought up defensively or against a defendant.
- The types of cases that tend to attract anti-robbery and anti-corruption issues.
- Compliance professionals should properly document their due diligence activities.
