China has recently undertaken aggressive enforcement of its anti-bribery laws against multinational companies operating in China, including arrests of senior personnel, severe fines, draconian remedies, and police actions against investigators. Whether seen as a “coming of age” for PRC regulators, or as protectionist actions against global companies, the compliance risks are serious, and have undeniably increased.
American companies doing business in China need to adapt to this new enforcement environment. Our panel of practitioners with deep hand’s-on experience in China will provide the social, political and legal context, describe the potential exposure to PRC and US sanctions, and offer suggestions for addressing them. Which sectors are particularly sensitive? What challenges do the China-based representatives of American firms face? How can you remove or reduce your compliance risks?
Please join the US-China Business Council and Baker & McKenzie for a lively discussion on this important topic. Our panelists include the Director of Business Advisory Services from the US-China Business Council and two partners from Baker & McKenzie, one of the world’s largest international law firms, and the oldest and largest foreign law firm operating in China.
● Paul McNulty, Partner, Chair of our Global Corporate Compliance Practice and former U.S. Deputy Attorney General (Washington, DC)
● Bing Ho, Partner, Head of US-China Practice (Chicago/Shanghai)
● Ryan Ong, Director of Business Advisory Services (Washington, DC)
