BCL partners Shaul Brazil and John Binns write the England and Wales chapter of this years’ Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption Review from The Law Reviews.
Here’s an extract from the publication, which you can read or download here:
“The eighth edition of The Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption Review presents the views and observations of leading anti-corruption practitioners in jurisdictions spanning the globe, including new chapters covering Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Peru and Venezuela. The comprehensive scope of this edition of the Review mirrors the scope of global anti-corruption activity and developments.
Over the past year, countries across the globe continued to bolster their domestic anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws, but shifting international relations and global economic competition may be undermining international cooperation. This is most clearly reflected in tensions between China and the United States and in recent comments by the chairman of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that called into question the extent to which international cooperation is real or perceived, and whether deliberately asymmetric enforcement is disadvantaging US companies.”
