Global Anti-Corruption

Legal Foundations for Multinational Compliance

The global landscape of Global Anti-Corruption regulation is built upon interconnected statutes, treaties, and enforcement agencies.
The FCPA prohibits bribery of foreign officials and mandates accurate corporate accounting, while the UK Bribery Act applies even more broadly, covering both public and private sector misconduct.
OECD conventions, United Nations initiatives, and local enforcement agencies have expanded these frameworks into a globally coordinated system.

SJKP LLP helps clients interpret and integrate these evolving rules into their operations across the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.

Building Robust and Defensible Corporate Integrity Systems

A strong compliance program is the cornerstone of every Global Anti-Corruption strategy.
We work with clients to design, implement, and enhance anti-corruption frameworks that meet global regulatory expectations and align with corporate governance objectives.

Our team develops policies and procedures tailored to each client’s risk profile, business model, and regional exposure, enabling organizations to operate confidently while mitigating enforcement risks.

Managing Regulatory Scrutiny with Precision and Credibility

When allegations of misconduct arise, organizations must act decisively.
Our Global Anti-Corruption team conducts internal investigations with discretion, independence, and rigor, ensuring that facts are uncovered swiftly and remediation strategies are effective.
We represent clients in enforcement actions before the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the UK Serious Fraud Office (SFO), and equivalent agencies in other jurisdictions.

Our lawyers understand how regulators build cases and negotiate resolutions, allowing us to manage investigations strategically and minimize collateral damage.

Preventing Liability Through Proactive Risk Management

Third parties are among the most common sources of corruption risk.
Our Global Anti-Corruption lawyers assist clients in conducting due diligence on agents, distributors, consultants, and joint venture partners to identify and mitigate potential compliance breaches.

We help organizations establish clear contractual obligations, audit rights, and monitoring procedures that ensure accountability across the supply chain.

Integrating Compliance into Transactional Due Diligence

Anti-corruption risks often surface during mergers, acquisitions, or joint ventures.
Our Global Anti-Corruption team performs pre-transactional due diligence to detect potential liabilities related to bribery, fraud, or improper payments.
We assess historical compliance failures, pending investigations, and control systems to prevent successor liability.

Following a transaction, we help clients integrate acquired entities into their compliance frameworks, ensuring post-closing continuity and remediation.

Navigating Integrity Risks in the Public Sector

Companies engaged in government contracting face unique exposure under Global Anti-Corruption regulations.
We represent clients in procurement investigations, bid protests, and compliance reviews involving federal, state, and international public contracts.

Our lawyers assist in designing ethics programs, disclosure procedures, and self-reporting mechanisms that meet government expectations and minimize suspension or debarment risk.

Managing Multi-Jurisdictional Investigations and Cooperation

Anti-corruption enforcement is increasingly global and cooperative.
Our lawyers have extensive experience coordinating parallel investigations between U.S., UK, EU, and Asian authorities.
 

We assist multinational corporations in developing unified response strategies that balance cooperation with defense.

We also help clients manage data privacy conflicts, privilege issues, and cross-border evidence sharing during investigations.

Embedding Compliance into Leadership and Culture

Corporate leaders are increasingly accountable for anti-corruption compliance.
We advise boards and senior executives on establishing governance frameworks that ensure oversight of high-risk activities.
Our team conducts board training, compliance certifications, and culture assessments to strengthen accountability.

By integrating ethics into strategic decision-making, companies can reduce risk while enhancing investor and consumer confidence.

Encouraging Transparency and Responsible Disclosure

Whistleblower systems are critical to detecting corruption and maintaining trust.
Our Global Anti-Corruption team assists clients in building secure, confidential reporting mechanisms that comply with global standards, including the Dodd-Frank Act, EU Whistleblower Directive, and ISO 37002 guidelines.

We also represent companies in managing whistleblower investigations and retaliation claims, ensuring fair treatment for all parties involved.

Modern Tools for Detection and Prevention

Digital transformation has revolutionized compliance.
We assist clients in implementing data analytics, AI-driven monitoring, and automated risk assessment tools to strengthen Global Anti-Corruption programs.
Our lawyers collaborate with IT and compliance teams to ensure that these tools operate in compliance with privacy, employment, and financial regulations.

We also advise on blockchain, smart contracts, and digital payment oversight to prevent corruption risks in emerging markets.
