The need for and use of foreign evidence has grown significantly as US prosecutors increasingly target transnational crimes, including the FCPA, export controls and economic sanctions, money laundering and antitrust. Multinational investigations based on the extraterritorial jurisdiction of US criminal statutes require familiarity with international evidence gathering procedures, as well as local law restrictions such as data protection, domestic employment, national security and privacy laws.

We would be delighted if you would join us for a discussion on how the government gathers foreign evidence in multinational investigations, the means available to defense counsel to obtain evidence overseas, and the offensive and defensive use of local law protections.
