The Act brings in a number of new offences and it is essential for both companies and individuals to understand how these will operate and what issues may most concern law enforcement agencies.

In many instances the individual facts of a particular scenario may determine whether the Act is engaged and we can tailor our advice to your needs accordingly.

We are able to assist companies and individuals in navigating their way through potentially complicated areas such as:

• Corporate hospitality
• Facilitation payments
• The use of agents and other intermediaries
• The involvement of Government officials or their family members

We have also advised and commented extensively upon the Guidance published by the Ministry of Justice in relation to the section 7 corporate offence and are able to offer insightful and detailed guidance as to how this offence will be interpreted in the coming months.
