Navigating Compliance Challenges After the Debut of Brazil’s Anti-Corruption Law

Brazil’s new anti-corruption law, with extensive anti-corruption provisions and strict penalties for non-compliance, is now in force.  Signed in August 2013 and effective as of January 29, 2014, the new law debuts at a time when international business and development in Brazil is booming.  In a recent webinar hosted by Strafford Publications, experts on the Brazilian Act shared detailed advice on the key provisions of the Act, risks of doing business in Brazil and how companies can comply with the Act’s provisions.  The panelists included Thaddeus R. McBride, Partner at Sheppard, Mullin, Richter & Hampton and Roberto di Cillo, Partner at Di Cillo Advogados, a Brazilian firm.  For other coverage on Brazil’s landmark law in the Anti-Corruption Report, see “Understanding and Acting on Brazil’s New Anti-Corruption Law” (Jan. 8, 2014); “How the New Brazilian Anti-Corruption Law Impacts U.S. Corporations” (Oct. 23, 2013); and “The Essentials of the New Brazilian Anti-Corruption Legislation” (Aug. 21, 2013).
