The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act

This webinar is critical for companies conducting clinical trials or selling products abroad. The consequences of violating the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) have never been higher. Companies have been compelled to pay record-setting multimillion-dollar penalties and senior-level executives have been prosecuted and fired. In recent years, the scope and reach of the FCPA has grown at a remarkable pace.
