New DOJ Playbook: Minimizing FCPA Risk, Targeted Enforcement, Investigations, Third-Party Management, Disclosures
Welcome! Strafford is now BARBRI! The expert courses you know from the trusted global leader in legal education.
Description
The panel will address the cross-border complexities of third-party work: engaging state-owned enterprises, coordinating with distributors/agents, and working effectively with local counsel while maintaining books-and-records discipline. From this starting point, the panel covers investigations and self-disclosure, including scope of inquiry, documenting decision points, preserving evidence, and management/board coordination, followed by program training best practices and client counseling strategies.
Listen as our panel provides practitioners with practical insight and tools to counsel clients, triage risk, examine and address third-party lifecycle controls, understand and mitigate cross-border challenges, plan for investigations and disclosures, and design effective training plans.
Presented By

Mr. Funk, a former Chicago federal prosecutor and conflict-deployed State Department attorney in Kosovo, has represented clients in many consequential and highly publicized cases in the United States and abroad. His clientele and cases reflect the high caliber of his work. Mr. Funk has represented companies of all sizes, as well as corporate executives and audit committees and boards; federal judges; Nobel laureates; NFL, NBA, and other professional sports franchises and athletes; A-list celebrities; countries and foreign agencies; diplomats; and US and foreign politicians and business leaders in civil litigation, internal investigations, and criminal matters. He successfully first-chaired dozens of federal and state civil and criminal trials, briefed and argued more than 20 federal and state appeals, directed more than 450 investigations, and argued more than 700 in-court evidentiary hearings and other contested proceedings. A fellow of the American Law Institute who is Chambers ranked Band 1 locally, as well as nationally and globally, and is a multiple "Lawyer of the Year" recipient, Mr. Funk uniquely received both the DOJ's prestigious Attorney General's Award for the nation's top trial performance and the US State Department's Superior Honor Award. The latter was awarded for his service as the DOJ Section Chief in Kosovo. Mr. Funk also received the ABA’s highest award for dedication to survivors of crime.

Ms. Hanft is a partner in the Litigation Department, she focuses on white collar criminal defense and regulatory enforcement matters, internal investigations and other complex litigation. Before joining Paul, Weiss, Ms. Hanft spent almost nine years as an Assistant U.S. Attorney in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York. Most recently, she served as co-chief of the General Crimes Unit, where she supervised hundreds of investigations spanning an array of subject matter, including fraud, cybercrime, money laundering, corruption, violent crime and sex trafficking. Before that, Ms. Hanft was a senior member of the Securities and Commodities Fraud Task Force, where she investigated and prosecuted insider trading, market manipulation, accounting fraud, and other securities and commodities fraud cases; and a member of the National Security and International Narcotics Unit, where she prosecuted both international and domestic terrorism cases and led sanctions evasion and counterespionage investigations.
