About
Provided by Baker McKenzie
Baker McKenzie has one of the top Foreign Corrupt Practices Act teams in the United States. Our lawyers include nationwide experts who have been dealing with the regulatory and enforcement agencies for decades. Across our US offices, our group consists of seasoned investigators and white-collar defense attorneys, several former federal prosecutors and SEC enforcement lawyers with more than 140 years of collective DOJ experience, as well as corporate lawyers and litigators, typically with subject matter or geographical expertise, who have extensive experience assisting companies with their anti-corruption compliance efforts.
We are best known for conducting multi-layered, multi-jurisdictional investigations and defending clients in cross-border enforcement actions, as well as providing risk management advice in a variety of practice areas -- anti-bribery and corruption, trade compliance, sanctions and boycotts, customs, cybersecurity, data privacy, AML and financial regulatory, ESG, health and safety, tax and supply chain. This is achieved through Baker McKenzie's hallmark of collaboration and fluency, between offices, jurisdictions, practice areas, industry groups and technical disciplines. We bring together the best team for our clients' needs, leveraging our deep experience in cross-border and parallel investigations, local expertise and subject matter expertise.
