Event Synopsis:
Immunity and leniency programs in the U.S. as well as in Canada are being improved to heighten effective enforcement and prosecution of cartel conduct.
The Corporate Leniency Policy adopted by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) encourages reporting and self-disclosure of cartel conduct by providing complete immunity from criminal prosecution for the whistleblowing companies or individuals who meet the leniency requirements. Last year, the DOJ released a public commentary to clarify previous guidance on how the government will implement its discretion as to Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) violations, mainly for those firms who “do the right thing” and self-report violations. On the other hand, the Competition Bureau and the Public Prosecution Service of Canada (PPSC) released its revised Immunity and Leniency Programs, with noted updates in the leniency requirements.
Our panel of key thought leaders and practitioners will offer a discussion of the fundamentals as well as updates regarding the latest significant issues surrounding the cartel immunity and leniency programs in the U.S. and Canada. This LIVE Webcast will offer companies with best practices in applying for leniency and maintaining robust compliance policies and procedures that deter relevant violations.
