    UK anti-corruption developments and their extraterritorial reach

    UK anti-corruption developments and their extraterritorial reach

    When will a company be held responsible if its employees are involved in wrongdoing? Are all companies measured by the same degree of accountability? And how is anti-corruption legislation applied when multiple jurisdictions are involved?



    The UK is strengthening its anti-corruption legislation, making significant changes that will introduce a statutory test for corporate criminal liability, introducing a new strict liability offence of failure to prevent fraud, and expanding the investigative powers of the UK’s Serious Fraud Office. In this episode, we explore what impact these significant changes will have on Canadian and other international businesses.



    Joining us for this special cross-border episode are Neil O’May and Naomi Miles.

    Neil

    is a partner who leads our corporate crime practice in London, and advises and defends some of the world's most prominent organizations and individuals in investigations and prosecutions involving international fraud, corruption and market abuse.

    Naomi

    is a senior associate in our London office, who focuses on complex multi-jurisdictional investigations, risk mitigation and compliance.



    Note: since recording, the UK Parliament has made the decision to drop the offence of failing to prevent money laundering. You can read more about that decision

    CEPA, chemical management and the “right” to a healthy environment | S3 EP7

    CEPA, chemical management and the “right” to a healthy environment | S3 EP7
    In June, the Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA) was amended for the first time in over 20 years. The most publicized amendment was the recognition that every individual has a “right to a healthy environment.” But even more significant for industry will be the changes to assessment and management of toxic chemicals, prohibited substances, and expanded government information powers.

    This episode examines how CEPA works, why it took so long to pass the amendments, and what the changes mean for industry and individuals. How will they affect what substances are used in everyday products? Is this “right” to a healthy environment anything more than legislative greenwashing?

    Diana Weir joins co-hosts Ailsa Robertson and Ted Brook for this episode. Diana is of counsel with the firm and her practice focuses on environmental law. She provides legal and strategic advice on environmental matters concerning Ontario, federal, and municipal legislation, everything from permitting to compliance. Diana is also a litigator and has defended clients charged with environmental offences, and has prosecuted environmental litigation claims by property owners.

    Pro bono publico in Canada | S3 EP6
    At its core, pro bono refers to lawyers’ broader duty to give back to communities, helping to bridge the gap in access to justice. There is no shortage of opportunity for lawyers to help people in need in this country, and that’s where the pro bono committee at Norton Rose Fulbright, led by Grace Pastine, KC, steps in. Grace is the firm’s Pro Bono Counsel (the role itself is a first of its kind in the country) and she joins us to share how she is developing the firm’s pro bono program and how she sources and evaluates requests for pro bono assistance.

    Ted Brook joins Andrew as a guest co-host for this episode. You may remember hearing Ted on the Prompt payment episode in S2. Ted is a senior associate in Toronto whose practice focuses on class actions, environmental litigation and complex commercial disputes. Ted is also involved in a number of pro bono projects, including a Charter challenge over the constitutionality of our first past the post voting system.

Grace was the litigation director of the BC Civil Liberties Association where she was responsible for all matters involving prisoners’ rights, police abuse and medical assistance in dying. She also directed interventions in over 100 cases before the Supreme Court of Canada on human rights and civil liberty issues.

    Influencers, advertising and social media | S3 EP5

    Influencers, advertising and social media | S3 EP5
    Influencer advertising on social media is one of the most pervasive and effective forms of marketing, but consumers are not always aware that an advertisement is being promoted as such. While the lines are blurred, both consumers and brands need to understand that these increasingly ubiquitous marketing tactics are coming under scrutiny by government regulators. Erin Brown and Vic Domen join us to share their perspectives on what regulators in Canada and the US are concerned with and the penalties for influencers who don’t disclose their brand connections, sharing best practices for both brands and influencers.

    Erin Brown is a senior associate in our Ottawa office whose practice focuses on a wide variety of regulatory issues, including competition, antitrust law, international trade, economic sanctions and export controls, as well as customs and procurement. Vic Domen is a partner in our Washington, DC, office, and is a government antitrust investigations and prosecutions lawyer. As a former enforcer, Vic has a unique perspective on the priorities of government agencies, as well as the challenges clients may encounter.

    Changes to the Canadian Competition Act | S3 EP4

    Changes to the Canadian Competition Act | S3 EP4
    In June 2023, the Competition Bureau is set to start enforcing amendments to Canada’s Competition Act that were announced in June 2022. These amendments seek to protect competition in Canada’s labour market and pertain to no-poach and wage-fixing agreements, which will become illegal and subject to criminal penalties. These amendments could possibly mean big changes for Canadian companies and how they do business. Chris Hersh joins us to discuss the potential impacts in the Canadian labour market. As a partner in our Toronto office and head of our Canadian competition practice, Chris provides strategic counsel to clients on all aspects of competition law.

    Canada’s Economic Sanctions Regime | S3 EP3
    Sanctions compliance is increasingly complex: events in the past 12 months have triggered rapid developments in sanctions regimes in Canada and across the globe. When there is little guidance from Global Affairs Canada (GAC), how can businesses navigate the patchwork of statutes and regulations? What should Canadians do if a counterparty becomes the subject of economic sanctions? And how can you reduce your sanctions risk profile?

    In this episode, we are joined by Stephen Nattrass and welcome back Alison FitzGerald who share their insights on what all these changes mean for Canadians. Stephen is a partner in our Ottawa office and head of the regulations and investigations team in Canada.

    Remediation Agreements in Canada | S3 EP1

    Remediation Agreements in Canada | S3 EP1
    Season 3 of Disputed starts with a look at Canada’s remediation agreement regime. In 2022, Canada saw its first court-approved remediation agreement under the “new” 2018 Criminal Code provisions – R c. SNC-Lavalin. Our guests, François Fontaine and Charles-Antoine Peladeau, negotiated that agreement and give us their insight into the practicalities of navigating this regime: what are the options for companies who suspect financial misconduct? How similar is Canada’s regime to the UK and US deferred prosecution systems? And with the RCMP now publicly encouraging companies to self-disclose, will we see more invitations to negotiate? François Fontaine is a senior litigation partner in our Montréal office who advises on cases involving corruption, corporate misconduct and white collar crime. Charles-Antoine Péladeau is of counsel in our Montréal office. His litigation practice involves internal investigations and advising clients on compliance.
