Event at Epstein Becker & Green, P.C.

Description

GUEST SPEAKER Special Agent Noel Espada Immigration and Customs and Enforcement ("ICE") Jack Norris, Special Counsel for Multi-State Litigation Unit at the Florida Office of the Attorney General The stakes have never been higher. As companies pioneer the vast opportunities offered by an ever-expanding global economy, the tentacles of government regulation continue to reach further and deeper into virtually every aspect of their business operations. Failure to understand their legal obligations and take the necessary steps to minimize their risk is no longer a realistic option for companies and their principals who want to avoid potential high-stakes litigation, personal liability and costly injury to their company?s reputation. But getting and staying compliant with the myriad laws, rules and regulations that govern the way in which you conduct business is no small task. Based on our experience in advising companies everyday on complex compliance matters, we have developed a truly practical briefing that takes you through the essential steps of compliance preparedness and risk management. Unlike traditional compliance seminars, EBG?s briefing specifically focuses on the interplay between business and legal issues that need to be addressed so that your company's goods and people can be where you need them to be, while protecting your business, and executives, from exposure to investigation, prosecution, or asset seizures or forfeitures.
