A Dark Day for Dechert

from FCPA Compliance Report · host Thomas Fox

In this episode, I visit with Jonathan Armstrong, partner at Cordery Compliance in London. We consider the recent payment by the international law firm Dechert of £20 million for its conduct and that of its former partner Neil Gerrard in the ENCR affair. The matter was certainly a dark day for Dechert and a black eye on the legal profession. Some of the highlights include: Key areas we discuss on this podcast are: · What were the failures of the law firm? · What led to the £20 million interim payment? · Will there be discipline against the law firm? · What is the role of a law firm to oversee investigations? · How are the implications of holding investigative data under GDPR going forward? · Who watches the watchers (and investigators)?
