PLI recently updated Deskbook on Internal Investigations, Corporate Compliance, and White Collar Issues.

This treatise provides practical guidance on how to carry out internal investigations to identify and remediate legal problems, protect the rights of employees when they’re subject to investigation or prosecution, and cooperate with government investigators in ways that help reduce legal and financial damage if wrongdoing is proved.

  • Major ongoing antitrust investigations: A new section has been added discussing the Packaged Seafood Investigation into price-fixing of packaged seafood between the brands Chicken of the Sea and Bumble Bee, and its consequences including abandonment of a proposed merger, cooperation by the parent company of Chicken of the Sea in the investigation, agreement by Bumble Bee Foods to plead guilty to a criminal charge, and guilty pleas to charges of conspiracy by several corporate executives.
  • The most recent civil and criminal FCPA enforcement actions against companies and individuals: An updated discussion of The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the International Conventions on Bribery explores the DOJ’s revised Corporate Enforcement Policy, making permanent many of the core elements of the Obama administration’s Pilot Program, which has guided the DOJ’s FCPA enforcement decisions over the past year and a half. New to the policy is a presumption in favor of non-prosecution when companies self-report, cooperate, and remediate.
  • Deferred Prosecution Agreements (DPAs): the updates reflect the most recent (DPAs), while noting the decrease in number of such DPAs over the last few years.
