WELCOME

 

We are pleased to introduce Letter from America, a new publication from our Litigation & Regulatory group, taking an in-depth look at legal issues in the United States that may have an impact on your business here in Europe.

 

In this first issue, we focus on:

 

Extradition in White Collar Cases

The tenacity of the US regulators knows no territorial bounds.  We give an overview of the current state of play on extradition for financial crime and regulatory breach.

 

Private Equity and the FCPA

What happens when your due diligence fails?  Suspicious payments are uncovered only after you invest.  Knowledge has become a dangerous thing.  We look at the steps you should take and consequences of not doing so.

 

Forum Selection Clauses

"Any legal proceedings that may arise out of [the agreement] are to be brought in England".  Clear enough?  Apparently not to the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit (New York) which recently concluded that this did not prevent it from considering claims for breach of copyright.  We look at the drafting pitfalls.
