Partner Michael Diamant is quoted in the Lexology PRO article “Five U.S. Laws Non-U.S. Companies Can’t Afford to Ignore” (subscription required), which describes how U.S. compliance risks can arise from market access and not just corporate presence. He discusses the 2025 Foreign Corrupt Practices Act enforcement guidance from the U.S. Department of Justice that directs prosecutors to focus on cases involving “U.S. interests.”
Michael says that “we have yet to see exactly what this will mean,” though it’s likely that the DOJ “will take a particularly keen interest in situations where bribes caused a U.S. company to lose out on a business opportunity.”
“Foreign companies that have U.S. competitors should be on high alert for situations in which the U.S. competitor may allege that it lost business to them due to corruption, such as in a public situation,” Michael adds.
