Overview
The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 (FCPA) is a United States federal law that prohibits U.S. citizens and entities from bribing foreign government officials to benefit their business interests.
On February 10, 2025, President Trump signed an executive order directing Pam Bondi, the US Attorney General, to pause enforcement of FCPA.
Join Peter A. Lennon, Esq. and Travis N. Gery, Esq., as they explore the past, present, and future of the FCPA, and discuss what recent changes under the new Administration mean for future FCPA interpretation and enforcement by U.S. prosecutors.
