Reaching Across Borders: The U.S. FCPA and Its Impact and Interference in Mexico

For decades, the fight against corruption has been a priority of law enforcement in the United States. As businesses and markets become more global, that fight has become a cross-border effort that requires close inter-governmental cooperation and coordination. With constantly changing economic and political dynamics between the U.S. and Mexico, will law enforcement be affected? How may these challenges affect U.S.-Mexico cooperation in anti-corruption matters?

Please join us for a roundtable discussion with anti-corruption experts from both the U.S. and Mexico to discuss:

• Lessons learned from prior enforcement matters in Latin America, specifically Mexico
• How the new NAFTA could impact cross-border enforcement between Mexico and the U.S.
• Developments and setbacks in Mexico’s fight against corruption, including the implementation of the Mexican National Anticorruption System
• What companies can do to be ready to respond to a corruption-related crisis

Speakers will include:

• Ruti Smithline (Partner, Morrison & Foerster)
• James Koukios (Partner, Morrison & Foerster)
• Rodolfo Barreda (Partner, Basham, Ringe y Correa, S.C.)
• Julio Copo (Associate, Basham, Ringe y Correa, S.C.)

This event is presented by Morrison & Foerster and Basham Abogados.
