Kelleher, one of the writers of an upcoming CA e-discovery practice guide launching in November 2009, will take a deep dive into California’s e-discovery law, covering a comparison with federal law and the former state law, key themes of the law, and methods of e-discovery collection.

How Recent Investigations and Prosecutions Will Impact Compliance |
WEBINAR (60 Minutes)
With increased international cooperation, the Justice Department is increasing its prosecutions of violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA). At least 120 companies are under investigation, according to the Justice Department. Recently, Frederic Bourke Jr. was convicted in a scheme to bribe Azerbaijan government officials and faces up to 10 years of jail time. And earlier this year, German industrial conglomerate Siemens AG agreed in December to pay $800 million in U.S. fines to settle bribery investigations involving alleged payments to government officials around the world to win infrastructure contracts.
The law prohibits U.S. companies from paying, or offering to pay, foreign-government officials or employees of state-owned companies to gain a business advantage. It covers non-monetary gifts or offers in addition to cash payments, and is worded broadly enough that it's spawning an army of consultants, some of whom once prosecuted bribery cases for the Justice Department, who offer to interpret the gray areas.
As a result of stepped-up enforcement of bribery laws, corporations are re-evaluating their practices. If companies sniff out problems in-house, many have felt compelled to come clean to the Justice Department, which has given a break to some that do so.
Danforth Newcomb, a dean of the FCPA bar, and Philip Urofsky, a former FCPA prosecutor, both now at Shearman & Sterling LLP, a leading global law firm, speak on the lessons that can be drawn from recent enforcement actions and how these lessons can be applied in practical, cost-effective ways to mitigate risk. They will take you through typical triggers and red flags, “best practice” policies, the 7 elements of an effective anti-corruption program and more.
John Hall is Executive Vice President of EthicsPoint, the market leader in issue, event and loss management supporting organization’s governance, risk and compliance (GRC) initiatives. John is a leading expert in optimizing the incident response process and will speak on how organizations can implement consistent and repeatable processes across the enterprise.

Immigration Enforcement: I-9 Compliance in Today's Tough Enforcement Climate |
WEBINAR (20 minutes)
Failure to accurately complete, maintain and store Form I-9, and to verify the identity and employment documents of each new hire, poses a serious financial risk for employers. Even clerical errors such as failure to sign or date the Form I-9 carry stiff fines that can quickly add up to thousands of dollars.
Special laws concerning employer sanctions have been put in place and the employer remains the target for enforcement and the entity most responsible for stopping undocumented workers from coming into the U.S. workforce. This has put a huge burden on some employers, who must choose to downsize their businesses, lose key workers, or face serious criminal charges or bankruptcy because of steep fines. Because all enforcement is selective, those choosing to comply with the law are doing so on an unfair playing field when competing with noncompliant employers who have not been targeted. It puts employers who try to comply with the law at a huge disadvantage in the marketplace; they are hiring and training U.S. workers, while providing dishonest employers with an advantage.
Author/attorney Ann Allot, who has been involved in many high profile cases, will guide the audience through her carefully detailed "compliance system." During this 20-minute Webinar, you'll gain the benefit of her expertise in dealing with enforcement cases with coverage that includes:
• Step-by-step guidance on all I-9 compliance procedures;
• Helpful illustrations and practice pointers from the author, a highly experienced immigration compliance attorney;
• Filled-in forms and examples of common pitfalls and errors to avoid;
• Appendices containing valuable reference material , including checklists, sample agreements and notices;
• Concrete solutions to the problems including a detailed "compliance program."
