Great Women in Compliance: Maria Lancri – Successful Global Compliance: A View from France and The EU

In this episode of the Great Women in Compliance podcast, Lisa speaks with Maria Lancri. Maria is a partner at Squair, based in Paris, and has experience both in law firms and in-house, spending 12 years at Hachette Livre—Hachette Books to English speakers like me. She is a member of the Steering Committee at Sorbonne D.U. Compliance & Ethique des Affaires. She is also a leading speaker about the EU and French compliance laws, doing so in various languages (and provides some tips on how she has been successful).

Maria provides information about the French anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws, including their history and current application. She provides timely information about the Sapin II framework in France as well as the current EU Landscape.

While the US laws often lead the global discussion about anti-corruption and anti-bribery, the EU has led in data privacy, ESG, and now AI, and some of the key issues over the next year that are relevant to global organizations.

Maria and Lisa discuss the cultural challenges that E&C professionals may encounter in a global practice and how to support ethical decision-making when you have a multi-cultural employee base.

Life with GDPR

Life With GDPR: What Does The UK Election Mean for Compliance?

Tom Fox and Jonathan Armstrong, a renowned expert in cybersecurity, co-host the award-winning “Life with GDPR.” Jonathan has returned from his hiatus, and in this episode, we examine the UK election results and their potential impact on compliance.

The recent UK election has significant implications for compliance, particularly concerning the dynamics between the UK’s Serious Fraud Office (SFO) and the new government. Jonathan Armstrong, an expert on bribery enforcement, anticipates that the new administration under Keir Starmer will focus on high-profile issues like the PPE scandal while maintaining robust enforcement actions, including dawn raids.

Armstrong and Fox bring deep insights into the potential compliance landscape, shaped by their extensive backgrounds: Armstrong’s expertise in corruption investigations and Fox’s experience with the criminal justice system.

Fox highlights the impact of the new Prime Minister’s legal background in bolstering enforcement efforts and contemplates the future governance of AI under this administration. Both experts foresee a political shift, with Armstrong expecting the Conservative Party to lean rightward yet occupy the political center, and Fox emphasizing the continuity and experience the new government brings to compliance and enforcement issues.

 

Key Takeaways:

  • Heightened Bribery Enforcement Under New Government
  • Russian Sanctions and Uighur Import Regulations
  • Data Protection Bill Changes Post-UK Election
  • UK’s New Administration Faces Challenges and Changes
  • Center-Ground Positioning in UK Politics
