9:45 am - 10:35 amWhen the regulator comes knocking: sink or swim?
The new Anticorruption Law was ground-breaking legislation in Brazil, introducing strict rules and steep penalties. As ever the development of regulation is an increasingly important area for legal departments as they are looking to enhance their expertise. Ask yourself this question:  “If the regulator is coming tomorrow, do I know the exact steps the company and I would take in the next 24 hours?”  If the answer is “no”, then it’s time to get cracking.  Additionally for multinational companies operating globally, the Clean Company Act, in addition to anti-corruption legislation including, but not limited to, the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, present a framework of overlapping and different corruption regimes. Some of those key similarities and differences.

It could be argued that Brazilian judicial courts are still not highly technically proficient in dealing with complex transactions such as cross-border M&A deals, as the process remains highly costly and time-consuming. The provision of an alternative dispute resolution such as arbitration and mediation is mandatory for a better resolution of potential disputes in Brazil. Our panelists will offer tips and advice in finding new resolutions around a bitter litigation.

With regular updates on the latest laws, jurisdictional developments and consistently changing regulation, how does the legal department manage the CEO’s grand plans for expansion and growth vs the compliance and governance pressures that fall on the in house counsels shoulders? You cannot be responsible for every action your company takes, but you are responsible for every decision in which you're involved. Yes, you need to ensure your company can achieve its goals by legitimate means, but you mustn't allow your company to misuse your legal skills to enable it to do things that are pushing the compliance boundaries. Our panelists will provide strategic advice and key tips that will help you create an internal process to develop your business whilst maintaining a compliant and ethical organization.
