Assessing the Year in FCPA Enforcement and Looking Ahead

Following a relatively flat enforcement landscape and some bumps in the 2013 prosecutorial road, the DOJ and the SEC appear poised to spring back into action on FCPA and related anti-corruption enforcement.  Other nations have also ramped up activity in this arena by fortifying their laws and enforcement outlooks, including by bringing “carbon copy” actions.  In a guest article, T.
