Freshfields partner Eric Bruce will speak on the panel, “Investigations Without Borders: Managing New Cross-Border Investigation Hurdles from Privilege Challenges and Cultural Nuances to Regulatory Inconsistencies and Beyond,” at the ACI's 42nd Annual Conference on FCPA and Global Anti-Corruption on December 4, 2025. As cross-border investigations grow in complexity, companies and counsel must navigate an increasingly tangled web of legal, cultural, and regulatory obstacles. This panel will address the latest challenges in managing global investigations while preserving privilege, ensuring compliance, and maintaining strategic alignment across jurisdictions.

The U.S. DOJ has laid down new guidelines for FCPA enforcement, and global anti-corruption enforcement initiatives continue to intensify. Please join Freshfields, ACI and 700+ members of the global FCPA and anti-corruption community for critical discussions on the next phase of anti-corruption, ethics, compliance & enforcement. This year’s programming includes a dynamic agenda shaped by real-world priorities, practical takeaways, and the most cutting-edge thinking in compliance – lead by a faculty of global practitioners with boots on the ground encountering the very risks coming across your desk.
