Mark Mendelsohn Quoted on FCPA Enforcement in The American Lawyer

Litigation partner Mark Mendelsohn was quoted extensively in the article "Former DOJ FCPA Chief Mendelsohn: Expect Size and Scope of FCPA Cases to Increase," which appeared in today's edition of the Litigation Daily section of The American Lawyer. The article discusses the recent record-setting FCPA settlements and some of the current investigations underway. Mark said, "These are much larger-scale investigations that are spanning the global operations of multinational companies." In discussing what the whistleblower provisions in the Dodd-Frank Act might mean for FCPA enforcement, Mark noted that it is too soon to know, but that the new provisions may provide employees with an incentive to go to the SEC with matters that previously would have been handled internally.
