The international enforcement and investigations landscape continues to evolve.  

Across our offices, there is one major constant: enforcement is on the rise and regulations are being introduced to enhance respective regulators’ powers.

Over the next few weeks, our global team will be releasing a series of articles addressing some of the key trends and developments we are seeing across our offices, namely:

  • AML enforcement on the rise (article available now at this link). 
  • Growth in international collaboration 
  • Privilege in cross-border investigations 
  • Trade and customs developments 
  • Enhanced whistleblowing and self-reporting measures
  • Developments concerning anti-bribery and corruption/Politically exposed persons (PEPs)
  • The extraterritorial reach of regulations
