Our Litigator of the Week is Clifford Chance partner Christopher Morvillo, won a huge ruling from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in a case of first impression involving the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
It was one of those decisions that prompted multiple law firms to send client alerts. Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr in its alert, for example, nicely summed up why the decision is so important: The court “dealt a significant setback to prosecutors seeking expansive theories on which to build an FCPA case against non-U.S. companies and individuals.”
