Anticorruption efforts outside the US: the UK-France-Swiss cooperation agreement and beyond

Co-chairs of the ABA International Law Section International Anti-Corruption Committee invited practitioners from the United Kingdom, Switzerland and France to discuss what to expect from the March 20, 2025 cooperation agreement between the UK’s Serious Fraud Office, France’s Parquet National Financier (PNF) and the Office of the Attorney General of Switzerland (OAG).

Speakers will share views stemming from experience, provide feedback on anticorruption efforts and give a forward-looking understanding. They will address enforcement, both domestic and international, in their respective jurisdiction, and what is expected from companies and individuals. The conversation will include what can be done to address new risks, including by adapting compliance programs, and what procedural defense strategies can be rolled out, accounting for available procedural tools and the world (dis)order.
