Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and Other Anti-Bribery Laws: 
Implications on International Franchise Expansion

Tuesday, September 22, 2015, 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM ET

CLE Credit: 1.5 hours
Sponsored by Center for Professional Development, Criminal Justice Section, Forum on Franchising, Section of International Law, and the Section of Litigation.

Many franchise brands are increasingly looking to foreign markets as a means to support and sustain expansion. This comes at a time of growing enforcement of anti-bribery laws, including, in particular, the Foreign Corrupt Practice Act (FCPA). The intersection of these two forces make such laws, and their implications on international franchising, an issue that no franchise lawyer can ignore. 

Please join our seasoned moderator, Nancy Gourley, and esteemed speakers, Simon Airey, George Martin and Eric Yaffe as they discuss the legal and practical application of the FCPA and other similar laws, on international franchising, including their relevance to international franchisors, related regulatory and compliance requirements, enforcement, penalties, and best practices.

Topics include:

Review the relevant provisions of the FCPA and other similar statutes
Discuss related regulatory and compliance requirements, enforcement and
penalties
Provide best practice tips from experienced practitioners
