As commerce has become increasingly sophisticated, firms often conduct business under a constellation of legal regimes, bringing a single transaction under the legal purview of multiple governmental authorities varying by subject matter and geography. This makes parallel investigations – separate investigations being conducted by different state, federal or international government authorities into the same or a similar set of facts – more likely. In a guest article, Kan Nawaday, a partner at Venable, and associate Stephen Salsbury explore two recent settlement agreements that resolved multi-pronged parallel investigations arising out of sanctions violations and provide guidance to practitioners for how best to proceed if they find themselves responding to parallel investigations.
