The UK’s Bribery Bill: Will It Happen, and What Does It Mean for Multinationals?

It is well-known that UK's anti-corruption law is outdated. Many have also written about the new Bribery Bill, currently being considered by a Parliamentary Committee. This alert reviews these matters and discusses whether much-needed reform will actually take place. If it does, should multinational companies be concerned?

This memorandum is intended only as a general discussion of these issues. It is not considered to be legal advice. We would be pleased to provide additional details or advice about specific situations.
