New EU Anti-Corruption Directive: What Swiss companies need to know
The EU Anti-Corruption Directive further tightens the criminal law framework for combating corruption, with effects reaching beyond the EU.
Swiss companies may also be affected, not only through their EU subsidiaries, but also where relevant conduct has a sufficient connection to the EU, for example via IT systems operated there.
In our latest newsletter, Dr. Robert Braun, Dr. Daniel Lengauer and Jan Bläuer outline what the Directive regulates, what sanctions and compliance risks may arise for Swiss companies, and why effective, risk-based anti-corruption compliance will become even more important going forward.
