Shearman & Sterling Launches Online, Searchable Version of Its FCPA Digest

NEW YORK, March 24 -- Shearman & Sterling's FCPA & Global Anti-Corruption Practice has launched an online, searchable version of its industry-leading FCPA Digest.  For years an invaluable resource to the business and legal community, the new "Digest 2.0" incorporates the comprehensive case summaries of the original Digest while providing access to primary source documents and the ability to search and sort the database to identify FCPA cases in particular industries and geographies as well as mode of payments, amount of sanctions, and other search criteria.

Users will be kept current with new summaries published as the latest developments are announced. New developments will be pushed to users who register at http://fcpa.shearman.com/.

According to Philip Urofsky, head of Shearman & Sterling's FCPA & Global Anti-Corruption Practice, "We hope this will be a useful tool for CEOs, GCs, chief compliance officers, business executives, the general public and the media. Together with our bi-annual Trends & Patterns in FCPA Enforcement and periodic practical analyses of specific matters will, we hope, assist business in navigating some of the difficult issues they face in doing business internationally.  In addition, as non-U.S. enforcement increases, we will be expanding the coverage to include such matters, and we invite the international community to advise us of anti-bribery developments in their countries."
