BulletProofBlog the blog on crisis communications

As companies seek to successfully navigate the myriad reputational challenges presented by an increasingly global regulatory infrastructure, Bulletproof Blog™ presents the next in a series of video interviews with leading regulatory and compliance strategists.

In today’s installment, Lucinda Low, who heads the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) practice at Steptoe & Johnson, LLP, discusses how the recent evolution in FCPA investigations and prosecutions has created a newly perilous regulatory environment for companies that operate around the world. In addition, Ms. Low outlines how best to identify the risks of not complying with the new paradigm; the need to train key staff to spot and resolve compliance issues as they arise and before they become a crisis; effective ways in which to deal with internal bad actors; and what to expect from the Department of Justice (DOJ) and Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) moving forward.

Ms. Low advises clients on U.S. and international anti-corruption matters ranging from preventive work to representation in internal investigations and enforcement matters worldwide. As a widely-recognized authority on the FCPA and related international conventions from the OECD, OAS, United Nations, and European Union, she shared the above insights – and many others – with Bulletproof™.
