Navigating White Collar and Corporate Crime in the European Regulatory Landscape

White-collar crime has seen a surge in complexity, with regulatory bodies in Europe and across the globe intensifying their scrutiny of corporate behavior. From fraud and bribery to insider trading, European corporations must navigate an increasingly intricate landscape of compliance obligations. This includes stricter enforcement measures, enhanced whistleblower protections, and the rise of corporate criminal liability.

European corporations must adapt to these changes by integrating advanced compliance technologies, improving cross-border cooperation, and fostering a culture of ethical behavior within their organisations. Participants will gain insights into the evolving nature of white-collar crime and corporate legal responsibility, with practical strategies for managing compliance in an increasingly regulated and interconnected global marketplace.

This roundtable discussion will delve into how these changes are reshaping the corporate legal environment and what European companies must do to remain compliant.
