Description
Given the recent wave of corruption scandals, such as those involving infrastructure companies in Latin America, courts and tribunals in both commercial and criminal settings have had to address increasingly complex and novel issues. This panel will discuss how adjudicators have reacted thus far, and lay out what can be expected going forward. The panel will also address some important ramifications, including recent trends in government and private action to fight corruption and shield against corruption risk.
