The New York City Bar Association’s third annual White Collar Crime Institute, held on May 19 at the bar’s Manhattan headquarters, brought in some big-name attorneys and former and current government officials to talk about the state of corporate crime and punishment. Among the biggest names were headliners Mary Jo White, chairwoman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and James Comey, the director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
In speeches, White and Comey shared enforcement trends and objectives from their agencies, and even a bit of advice for companies and their counsel that want to stay out of trouble with the feds.
