The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) has now become one of the focal points of the Securities Exchange Commission’s and the Department of Justice’s enforcement program. Enforcement actions, civil and criminal, are on the rise and the cost of resolving FCPA actions is getting even more onerous. At the same time, foreign anti-corruption laws and enforcement are also gaining. U.S. and other multinational companies increasingly face FCPA risks in their varied international business activities. Such risks can, however, be detected and managed before problems arise. The experienced faculty of private practitioners and regulators and prosecutors will provide an in-depth analysis of the FCPA’s current trends and their implications. The faculty will discuss timely important information on the latest enforcement trends, international developments, compliance best practices, and risk assessment and mitigation. Middle East. Being able to point your client in the right direction and give basic framework advice as to Islamic commercial law and Shariah-compliant finance vehicles is an important tool for any transnational lawyer.

A panel of international leading authorities will introduce you to the basic concepts of Islamic business law, teach you the essential building blocks of modern Islamic commercial transactions, and present the latest developments in both inbound and outbound investment activities in which US lawyers are playing active roles and the broader capital market developments in Shariah-compliant financings.
