Tilleke & Gibbins Consultant to Speak at Summit on Anti-Corruption in Singapore

Subscribe to Updates
American Conference Institute

On December 4-6, 2012, the American Conference Institute will host a summit on anti-corruption in Singapore, at the Marriott hotel. The summit will pay particular attention to compliance and risk management, and address the different ways to implement country-specific strategies to detect, investigate, and prevent risks of foreign corrupt practices and bribery.

The program will begin with presentations focusing on a group of countries, particularly China, and case examples using the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. The topics range from minimizing third-party risks, enforcing anti-corruption measures, and coordinating investigations by development banks, to a focus on the anatomy of multijurisdictional corruption and how to encourage employees to use corporate reporting mechanisms to mitigate risks.

The presentations will be followed by workshops that interactively go beyond regulatory tools to identify concrete tactics for avoiding the pitfalls presented by gift giving, entertainment, and hospitality in emerging markets in Asia. Clemence Gautier, consultant in the Tilleke & Gibbins intellectual property and regulatory affairs teams, will act as a workshop facilitator with lawyers from Singapore and Vietnam, and specifically address strategies for “Developing a Compliant Gift, Travel, and Hospitality Policy: A Complete Guide on How to Balance Legal Needs with Local Standards of Entertainment in Indonesia, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Thailand.”

The attendees and speakers of the event include a range of directors, managers, general counsel, officers, and other representatives from banks, law firms, and multinational businesses from across the globe. For more information on this event, please visit the ACI website.

On February 1, 2021, the Myanmar military declared a state of emergency in the country and took control of the government, arresting State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi, President Win Myint, and other senior government officials from the National League for Democracy. The seizure of power, and the government’s subsequent actions to suppress public protest and dissent, have received widespread international condemnation.  The USA, Canada, and the UK have reacted by imposing economic sanctions on certain companies and individuals, and more sanctions are expected as the situation in Myanmar evolves. These sanctions pose a major concern for foreign investors with interests in Myanmar—concern which is exacerbated by the lack of clarity about the current situation on the ground. To address these issues, Lex Mundi is bringing together leading legal authorities on the topic from Myanmar, Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom for a special webinar on March 23, 2021. The speakers, which include Tilleke & Gibbins counsel Ross Taylor, will discuss the situation on the ground in Myanmar; how the sanctions imposed this time differ from previous restrictions on Myanmar under earlier regimes; the impact of the sanctions imposed by each country; and the practical impact of sanctions on companies with operations in or relating to Myanmar. The session will be followed by a Q&A with all speakers, where attendees will be able to address any specific queries they might have.
