Managing Corruption Risk Across Borders

Sheppard’s FCPA team comprises former federal prosecutors and multidisciplinary legal teams that offer disciplined judgment in sensitive, high-stakes matters, advising companies and individuals at every stage, from transactional due diligence to government enforcement actions. 


Our team has firsthand knowledge of how the DOJ and SEC evaluate evidence and make charging decisions. We engage productively with regulators and efficiently cut through vast data sets to identify the issues that matter most for our clients. 

FCPA cases rarely exist in isolation. Investigations often raise disclosure questions for public companies, employment and corporate governance issues, as well as follow-on civil litigation. We coordinate expertise in securities, labor and corporate to deliver a holistic approach. This holistic approach includes addressing overlapping risks involving international trade, sanctions and foreign military sales rules.
