In the past few years, there have been headline-grabbing government investigations of foreign companies in the European Union (EU) and China. A number of these investigations relate to anti-trust, anti-bribery and corruption matters. It is critical for the legal departments of companies operating in the EU and China to be prepared for these sorts of investigations, ensuring that the business can react quickly and deal successfully with the government inquiry at a very tense and stressful time. The panel will look at the reasons for government investigations in the EU and China, what in-house counsel need to do to prepare their companies for the possibility of a government investigation (including the dreaded dawn raid) and provide practical tips for dealing with government investigations in the EU and China.
