As the economy has grown more global, commercial litigation has become more complex. At The Blanch Law Firm, our litigators possess a sophisticated understanding of the laws governing international commerce, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA).

We are a results driven litigation firm, providing the kinds of legal resources necessary to compete in a global market.

FCPA laws and FCPA charges require the trained eye of a top-notch contract lawyer and the experienced ability of a trial lawyer.

Penalties for violating the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, include:
When a federal agency such as the Department of Justice, Attorney General’s Office or some other agency begins prosecuting a company or individual for FCPA violations, it can lead to heavy penalties. However, violating any portion of this act can also lead to civil litigation and costly lawsuits. The Blanch Law Firm’s team of litigators can provide the necessary defense to protect against both types of losses.
The SEC and DOJ have increasingly focused on FCPA compliance by United States companies and other companies that are publicly traded in the United States. This has led to increased exposure to FCPA litigation.
