&C’s advice in this area is given by lawyers with Stransactional experience who have a background in litigation.

In the acquisition context, we assist our clients with transition planning and integration of compliance programs and controls. Much of our experience lies in the natural resource industry.

Scope The scope and enforcement of anti-bribery, anti-corruption and trade of Work sanctions laws in the United States and Europe has significantly increased in recent years. Transactions involving natural resource companies often present significant risk under these laws, in light of the particular characteristics of the sector: its global nature, which presents challenges in implementing uniform business policies and procedures; the need to operate in emerging markets, where there may be a lack of infrastructure and controls necessary to combat corruption, unstable political situations that are targeted by trade sanctions and other challenges; and, in light of state ownership of resources and permitting and other development requirements, there is a high degree of likelihood that interaction with government officials will be necessary.

We also help our clients to develop, assess and improve their compliance programs and procedures, including reviewing education, training and internal audit programs. Where necessary, we will assist our clients with implementation of remedial actions, including voluntary disclosure to and settlement with applicable regulators.
