What do lawyers need to know about FARA? LIVE with David Laufman

The Justice Department’s enforcement of the Foreign Agents Registration Act is the most aggressive in decades. Enacted in 1938, FARA “requires certain agents of foreign principals who are engaged in political activities or other activities specified under the statute to make periodic public disclosure of their relationship with the foreign principal, as well as activities, receipts and disbursements in support of those activities.” With greater enforcement, lawyers and their clients need to know today how this law applies to them. What are lawyers' responsibilities and obligations under FARA? What are the best practices to comply with the law? David Laufman, partner at Wiggin & Dana LLP and former Chief of Counterintelligence & Export Control in the DOJ National Security Division (responsible for FARA enforcement) explains FARA for lawyers and law firms in this program.
