Europe may not be an emerging market, but, as the European Commission’s first Anti-Corruption Report detailed, there are pervasive corruption risks in Europe that companies must navigate; risks made more pressing by increased anti-corruption enforcement in the E.U. as well as the evolving requirements of the laws there.  In a recent Strafford Publications webinar, K&L Gates partner Edward J.
