The United Kingdom's new Bribery Act, which comes into force on July 1, 2011, will apply to the worldwide activities of any company that conducts business in the UK, and will impose strict criminal liability for any improper payments made on its behalf, unless it has in place "adequate procedures to prevent" such payments from occurring. In this timely new program, K&L Gates LLP presenters Robert Hadley (London), Matt T. Morley (Washington, D.C.) and Laura Atherton (London) address the key questions that counsel for U.S. and other non-UK companies should be asking about the Bribery Act: • Will the Bribery Act apply to the company? • How is it different from the FCPA? • What is required for procedures to be considered “adequate” to avoid the Bribery Act’s provisions for strict criminal liability?
