The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act makes it illegal for any U.S. company to bribe foreign officials. The law can apply to a company’s agent or contractors in another country, even if executives in the U.S. were unaware of the bribes.
GlobalAtlanta submitted a list of questions on the FCPA to Joe Whitley, a partner at law firm Greenberg Traurig LLP. Mr. Whitley was formerly U.S. attorney for the northern and middle districts of Georgia and the first general counsel for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
Mr. Whitley will co-host a seminar on the FCPA Sept. 2 at the State Bar of Georgia headquarters, 104 Marietta St., in downtown Atlanta. For more information, click here.
