In a recent panel discussion held at the New York City Bar, Kara Brockmeyer, Chief of the SEC’s FCPA Unit, and Mark Schonfeld, a partner at Gibson Dunn & Crutcher LLP, discussed the SEC’s role in civil FCPA enforcement from a private and public perspective. The panel was moderated by Wayne Carlin, a partner at Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz. The three experts shared useful insights regarding managing the costs of FCPA investigations, creating strong compliance programs, negotiating with the SEC and deciding whether to voluntarily disclose a violation to the government.
