We are experienced in compliance issues related to The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) which, as a general matter, makes it unlawful for U.S. companies operating in the United States or abroad and their employees to make direct or indirect payments or give things of value to foreign government officials or political parties or candidates for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business or securing any improper advantage. FCPA considerations and compliance are routine matters to be addressed in international agreements.
