各国における法規制が複雑化する現代社会において、国境を超えて事業を展開する多国籍企業が成長を続けるためには、十分な情報を基に予め法規制に適合した活動をすることに加え、万が一の際に迅速かつ適切に防御活動をすることが極めて重要です。

実績

• Airbus – Served as lead U.S. counsel in a worldwide (26 countries) investigation conducted jointly by the DOJ, France and the UK into alleged corruption in the sale of commercial aircraft and other matters. This matter resulted in a history-making $4 billion simultaneous resolution with U.S., French and UK regulators, the largest simultaneous resolution in FCPA history. Paul Hastings is also lead counsel in another, significant export control issue in the U.S.

• Braskem S.A. – Represented the Brazilian petrochemical company in the history-making resolution of its DOJ and SEC investigations of corruption allegations against the company, and assisted in the simultaneous resolution of the Lava Jato-era investigation by the Brazilian MPF. Following the resolution, we assisted Braskem in the construction of its current anti-corruption program and guided Braskem through its anti-corruption monitorship. On March 11, Brazil’s Federal Prosecution Office (MPF) announced the successful conclusion of Braskem’s monitorship in Brazil. Braskem is the first company in Brazil to successfully conclude an independent monitorship required as part of the settlement of corruption-related allegations.

• Ambassador Gordon Sondland – Advised the Ambassador during the House impeachment hearings, representation which included substantial revisions of testimony previously provided to Congressional investigators.

• British Arab Commercial Bank – Represented the U.K. financial institution as it faced an investigation into alleged breaches of U.S., U.K., EU, and U.N. sanctions laws in Iran.

• TechnipFMC plc – Represented TechnipFMC plc to resolve charges brought by the U.S. and Brazil. The resolution included a deferred prosecution agreement, a plea to one count of conspiracy to commit bribery by a U.S. subsidiary, and a settlement with the SEC. Simultaneously, TechnipFMC entered into settlements with the Brazilian MPF and CGU/AGU, the first-ever such resolution between these two regulators. None of these resolutions included a criminal guilty plea, and no third-party monitor was imposed. We continue to represent the company in meeting its obligations under the DPA.

• Sociedad Química y Minera de Chile – Assisting the Chilean mining company with the successful completion of its two-year monitorship.

• Panasonic Avionics Corporation (PAC) – Kwame Manley was appointed the independent monitor and compliance consultant in connection with PAC’s resolution of its FCPA matter, which included a $137 million criminal penalty.
