Welcome to the Hughes Hubbard Anti-Corruption & Internal Investigations Practice Group’s podcast All Things Investigation. This week, we will feature five lawyers from HHR to introduce the firm’s always popular and annual FCPA and Anti-Bribery Alert. In this first podcast of the 5-part series, host Tom Fox is joined Mike DeBernardis to introduce the Alert and some of the key themes and highlights from the FCPA and anti-bribery in 2024.
In the inaugural episode celebrating the Hughes Hubbard & Reed FALL 2024 FCPA and Anti-Bribery Alert, Tom is joined by Mike DeBernardis. They delve into the significance of Hughes Hubbard & Reed being the first major firm to release their FCPA alert each year and discuss the creative introduction themed around 1999 movies, including a quote from 'The Matrix.' The alert is segmented into four comprehensive chapters covering analysis, policy developments, corporate resolutions, international focus, and updates from multilateral development banks. Key trends such as the treatment of past misconduct and encouraging whistleblowing are highlighted, along with an ongoing issue of gifts and hospitality in corporate resolutions. For more detailed insights, the audience is encouraged to access the report on the firm's website.
