FCPA Due Diligence in Acquisitions
January 2010
With recent increases in Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) enforcement investigations by the Department of Justice (DOJ), due diligence has become a requirement for US-based companies engaged in acquisitions outside the United States. Requirements include investigating consultants, limiting travel expenditures for “foreign officials” and drafting contract provisions that provide post-acquisition protection.
In this article, Squire Sanders lawyers Rebekah J. Poston, David A. Saltzman and Gregory W. Bates present a real life scenario to demonstrate the lengths to which a publicly traded US-based company must go in performing FCPA due diligence when it decides to acquire an enterprise in another country known for its corruption.
