Key insights from GIR Live in Washington, DC

May 30, 2019

FRA Partner, Neil Keenan, recently attended GIR Live in Washington, DC. The conference included a keynote speech from David Burns, Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General, National Security Division, US DOJ, as well as panel discussions about the new realities for corporate defense lawyers and what effect this has on managing complexity in global investigations, and the evolving role of the corporate compliance officer and the new strategies compliance officers must take to stay ahead in the new environment.

He notes some of his key highlights from the panel discussions including:

  • DOJ's efforts to identify, investigate and prosecute IP theft, notably by China
  • The extended impact Lava Jato has had on business in Central and South America
  • Different mindsets now needed in executing investigations
  • Compliance headaches arising from the use of common Messaging Apps
  • The DOJ's recently released document - "Evaluation of Corporate Compliance Programs"
  • Corporate Monitorships
  • Compliance on a budget - best practices for maximizing value with limited dollars
