Unfortunately, we have to inform you that tomorrow’s Compliance Lunch Seminar is postponed until further notice.

Due to risks associated with the outbreak of the COVID-19 virus and the large number of registered participants, we have together with our co-host, Paul Hastings, decided to cancel tomorrow’s seminar.

The focus on corporate liability has increased significantly in recent years. The rapidly changing legal environment and increase in cross-border economic crime enforcement present considerable risks for companies and financial institutions. The fact-finding process is crucial in assessing companies’ risks, and the company’s internal and external response.

Together with Paul Hastings, we have the pleasure of inviting you to a Compliance Lunch Seminar on 3 March 2020.

Paul Hastings and BAHR will provide an overview of law enforcement expectations and discuss how to meet these expectations while efficiently managing risk. New Paul Hastings partner Nicola Bonucci, former OECD legal director, will address cooperation between different jurisdictions and its impact on cross-border enforcement.

Agenda

Enforcement Update and Survey

• Overview of anti-corruption, economic sanctions and other economic crime enforcement actions against Norwegian and Nordic companies
• Current enforcement risks and trends

Law enforcement expectations for internal investigations

• Practical tips for preparing and handling internal investigations

Registration starts at 10:15 AM and refreshments will be served before we get started.
We will conclude our seminar with lunch around 12:30 PM and hope you will join us.
