The American Bar Association Criminal Justice Section will convene its Global White Collar Crime Institute and London White Collar Crime Institute Nov. 17-18 in Geneva, Switzerland. The combined 2025 International White College Crime Institute will bring together enforcement leaders, general counsel, compliance professionals and legal practitioners to address current enforcement priorities across three major jurisdictions, cross-border collaboration strategies and critical compliance considerations for multinational organizations.
The "Meet the Enforcers" panel will feature Jean-François Bohnert, prosecutor, National Financial Prosecution Office, Paris, France; Stefan Blättler, attorney general of Switzerland, Bern, Switzerland; and Nicholas Ephgrave QPM, director, Serious Fraud Office, London, United Kingdom.
Conference programming includes:
• “General Counsels Roundtable: The Future of DPAs in Switzerland” — Corporate leaders and the attorney general of Switzerland discuss whether current legislation adequately serves both enforcement authorities and corporations in non-trial resolutions.
• “Global Anti-Corruption Enforcement” — Panelists will examine Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and Serious Fraud Office enforcement trends, the evolving roles of European Public Prosecutor’s Office and France's Parquet National Financier and compliance strategies for multinational organizations.
• “Banking, Money Laundering and Sanctions Enforcement” — Experts discuss navigating U.S. and EU enforcement priorities, cross-jurisdictional coordination and managing conflicting regulatory requirements.
• “AI in Legal Practice and Compliance” — The panel will explore AI's impact on legal work, including ethical considerations, recent enforcement trends and defense strategies.
• “The State of International Cross-Border Investigations” — Authors from the newly released ABA book "An International Guide to Corporate Internal Investigations" (Second Edition) discuss investigative strategy, data collection and privilege issues.
"This institute represents a unique opportunity for legal and compliance professionals to engage directly with the enforcement officials and thought leaders shaping global white collar crime policy," said Lucian Dervan, founding chair of the ABA Global White Collar Crime Institute and professor of law at Belmont University. "The caliber of speakers and the breadth of topics covered make this an essential gathering for anyone working in international compliance and enforcement."
