Mark H Tuohey and Mark Beardsworth of Brown Rudnick LLP discuss the impact of the growing trend for collaboration between international authorities on the business crime defence market.
“The trend for many businesses to have a large footprint lacking in depth puts them at risk of transgression. As international government authorities increase their cooperation, so should international defence lawyers, to best serve their clients.”

Gary Lincenberg of Bird Marella Boxer Wolpert Nessim Drooks & Lincenberg, Gerallt Owen of Withers Singapore, David Stetler of Stetler Duffy & Robert Ltd and Harry Travers of BCL Burton Copeland talk about levels of activity, enforcement and competition in the legal market in their jurisdictions.
