Global Compliance Club
Corruption has no boundaries:
Who are the guardians of a company’s ethics?
Master Class, Lisbon
Join an exclusive group of general counsel, heads of legal and compliance experts at a breakfast
Master Class to discuss key issues facing the market and the mechanisms for avoiding major risks
Since the wave of foreign investment in Portuguese businesses, companies have been
developing internal policies in accordance with new regulations in order to avoid risks
that could be devastating to their business.
Recent years have seen the development of more stringent international anti-corruption
legislation in certain countries, such as the Bribery Act in the UK and the Foreign
Corrupt Practices Act in the US.
Consequently, Iberian companies are entering a new era where compliance is seen as
a ‘must have’ rather than a ‘nice to have’. Companies are now aware of not only the
potential reputational and economic damage, but also the possible personal liability of
company employees, which could result in a jail term.
