Debevoise & Plimpton LLP lawyers authored a key chapter on compliance strategies in the fifth edition of Global Investigations Review’s “The Guide to Compliance.” White Collar partner Andrew Levine and counsel Ivona Josipovic contributed to a chapter entitled, “Essential compliance strategies for navigating the US enforcement landscape.”

The updated chapter examines recent shifts in U.S. enforcement priorities, including changes to DOJ and SEC policies, new FCPA enforcement guidelines and the DOJ’s revised Corporate Enforcement and Voluntary Self-Disclosure Policy.
