At the same time, DOJ has created a new “compliance counsel” position.   What does all of this mean?  Can we expect more enforcement, less enforcement, or just a different kind of enforcement?  Based on a thorough review of the public statements of DOJ and SEC enforcers, the speakers will address the following questions and others:

  • Can we expect any changes in DOJ policy under the new Attorney General and her team?
  • Can we expect more individual prosecutions?
  • What has the current leadership at DOJ and SEC said about scoping investigations, self-disclosure and individual prosecutions?
  • What can we expect from the new DOJ Compliance Counsel position?
  • What are the most effective investigative and advocacy strategies in this new enforcement environment?

Presenters Natalia Shehadeh VP & Chief Compliance Officer, Weatherford Tom Firestone Partner, Baker & McKenzie LLP Jonathan Nelms Partner, Baker & McKenzie LLP
