Business Ethics - The Bribery Act was just the start

10 January 2017

The UK Government is determined to shift the responsibility for policing tax offences to corporates and those who interact with taxpayers. The Bribery Act saw the introduction of a "failure to prevent" offence, with a wide territorial reach. As Bribery Act prosecutions are now starting to flow, it appears the same model will be extended to other areas, such as tax evasion, and beyond.

David Cadin, Managing Partner of Bedell Cristin, will chair presentations from an expert panel of lawyers from Macfarlanes to talk about developments in this area, top tips for staying out of trouble, and what the future may hold.
