The need for companies to take the FCPA and other anti-corruption laws into account in their M&A activities has never been greater. Unwary companies can face liability for their target's pre-closing FCPA violations, but proper planning can avoid or significantly mitigate liability risks. Come hear a panel of three leading lawyers as they discuss how to deal with FCPA issues in M&A transactions, including practical guidance on the due diligence process, how to hand FCPA issues in acquisition agreements, and what to do about problems you discover in due diligence. Join:

Audrey Ingram, Partner, Richards Kibbe & Orbe LLP
Vince Martinez, Partner, K&L Gates LLP
Gary Stein, Partner, Schulte Roth & Zabel LLP

Among the topics of this program are:

What do the DOJ and SEC expect from buyers with respect to FCPA issues at target companies?
What are best practices for structuring and conducting FCPA due diligence?
How should companies address FCPA issues in purchase agreements?
How should the parties address FCPA or other corruption issues identified during due diligence?
What should be done between signing and closing to prepare to incorporate the seller into buyer's compliance program?
What should asset buyers, joint venture partners, or minority investors take into account in considering the FCPA issues in their transactions?
