In October, ACLU-PA released a new report called Cold Reality: Uncovering the Cruelty and Chaos of ICE Practices in Pennsylvania. The report is an analysis of documents obtained from Immigration and Customs Enforcement, known as ICE, and what they show about the harm that ICE enforcement actions do to families and communities. Here to talk about it are Vanessa Stine, senior staff attorney for immigrants' rights at the ACLU of PA; Laura Perkins, human rights organizer with Casa San Jose in Pittsburgh; and Professor Caitlin Barry of Villanova University School of Law and the director of the law school's Farmworker Legal Aid Clinic.

Today's episode of All Things Investigations is a deep dive into the 2023 FCPA Alert with Tom Fox, Laura Perkins, and Kevin Abikoff from Hughes Hubbard and Reed. They unravel the complexities of the latest updates in anti-corruption laws, focusing on the impact these changes have on companies in the U.S. and abroad. They share a detailed analysis of the current anti-corruption enforcement landscape practical advice for navigating these legal waters, and how we can draw inspiration from a rock and roll great. Laura Perkins and Kevin Abikoff, from Hughes Hubbard's Anti-Corruption and Internal Investigations Practice Group, join Tom Fox in this episode. Laura Perkins is the former Assistant Chief for FCPA enforcement at the DOJ, and Kevin Abikoff is a prominent attorney specializing in compliance, anti-corruption law, and internal investigations. Their combined insights provide a unique perspective on the challenges and strategies in compliance and anti-corruption, crucial for businesses operating globally. In this episode, you'll hear Tom, Laura, and Kevin discuss: Why the FCPA Alerts from Hughes, Hubbard, and Reed always start with a quote from a popular artist – this year's from Jimmy Buffet: “Go fast enough to get there but slow enough to see.” The guidance that was originally issued in 2021 has evolved as the Department of Justice gains experience with the policies and how they want companies to follow them.  Empowering compliance officers who are on the front lines of protecting companies and shareholders, and how doing so is ultimately good for business. What it can mean for companies to self-report to the DOJ and whether or not all of the implications have been considered. For years, the DOJ has been talking about compliance incentives, repercussions, and compensation, and this year, they have taken it a step further by allowing companies to benefit via reductions in fines based on their efforts to bring repercussions to individuals involved in misconduct. Company boards are obliged to exercise business judgment, which includes taking into account financial repercussions or pursuing bad actors. The new guidance may open the floodgates for private plaintiffs to sue boards that do not. Lessons learned from specific enforcement actions from DPA's, NPA's, and Declinations, specifically the Ericsson and ABB resolution.  The scope of anti-bribery and anti-corruption enforcement outside of the US, looking at France, Brazil, and China. A growing number of countries are entering the sphere of FCPA enforcement actions in the US and elsewhere.

Did you know that half of the world's agricultural land is degraded? According to the World Economic Forum, this leads to farm productivity losses and is a risk to food security in the future. They define Regenerative Agriculture as a focus on improving the health of the soil that has been degraded by the use of heavy machinery, fertilizers, and can restore agricultural land and pesticides used in intensive farming. When soil is healthy, it produces more food and nutrition, stores more carbon and increases biodiversity – the variety of species. Healthy soil supports water, land and air environments and ecosystems through natural processes including the fertilization of plants. Stone Barns Center for Food and Agriculture, located in Tarrytown (Westchester County), NY is a nonprofit farm, education and research center with a mission to catalyze an ecological food culture in the Northeast. Since 2004, they have been working to innovate ecological farming practices and mindful food choices that benefit human health, strengthen communities, and protect the environment. Their Hudson Valley campus, shared with restaurant partner Blue Hill at Stone Barns, is a living laboratory for interdisciplinary research experiments where farmers, chefs, diners, educators, and artisans come together to push the boundaries of sustainable farming and eating. Laura Perkins is horticulturalist at Stone Barns Center where she tends the formal gardens and develops and maintains the surrounding landscape while supplying Blue Hill with foraged edible foods, giving visitors opportunities for sensory immersion in the landscape, and enhancing wildlife habitat and the ecological resilience of the land. She joins the podcast, Nature Calls: Conversations from the Hudson Valley, with fascinating insights into the work performed at the Stone Barns Center and how it is helping farmers and residents better understand successful ways to regenerate soils and farming practices.

In this episode of All Things Investigations, Tom Fox and Laura Perkins delve into the workings of the FCPA unit within the fraud section of the Department of Justice. This unit, pivotal in investigating and prosecuting Foreign Corrupt Practices Act violations, operates within a robust hierarchy and collaborates extensively with other agencies. Laura Perkins is a Hughes Hubbard partner whose practice focuses on representing clients in Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and white collar criminal investigations. She also advises clients on issues related to the FCPA, the federal securities laws, the False Claims Act, and other federal statutes.  You'll hear Tom and Laura discuss: There was a recent transition in leadership within the DOJ's FCPA unit, with an acting head taking the reins. Such changes can potentially shift the direction or focus of the unit. The FCPA unit maintains a collaborative approach, liaising closely with other agencies such as the IRS, FBI, and the Department of State, ensuring a holistic investigative process. Despite being two distinct units, the DOJ's FCPA and the SEC's FCPA work closely during parallel investigations. However, certain limitations arise from grand jury issues, preventing complete sharing. Operating within the fraud section, this unit plays an instrumental role in evaluating corporate compliance programs, selecting compliance monitors, and contributing to policy developments and department-wide initiatives. The Corporate Enforcement, Compliance, and Policy Unit has the task of handling FOIA requests, underscoring its role in promoting transparency and information access. The relationship between the chief of the FCPA unit and the head of the fraud section is important as their interactions can potentially influence the direction and outcome of cases. The fraud section provides weekly case summaries to the Deputy Assistant Attorney General's office. This demonstrates the department's diligent and ongoing monitoring and reporting system. The FCPA unit doesn't operate in isolation; it partakes in international collaborations on bribery issues, highlighting its commitment to global anti-corruption efforts. KEY QUOTES “[In] the FCPA unit, prosecutors and supervisors handle investigations and cases involving Foreign Corrupt Practices Act or potential Foreign Corrupt Practices Act violations.” - Laura Perkins “[The DOJ and SEC have] a very close relationship, and often cases are worked in parallel, not necessarily jointly, because there are potential discovery issues that can be created if it's a joint investigation.” - Laura Perkins “The [Corporate Enforcement, Compliance and Policy Unit] has a major role in assisting prosecutors in evaluating corporate compliance programs as well as overseeing any compliance monitors that are put in place.” - Laura Perkins Resources Hughes Hubbard & Reed website  Laura Perkins on LinkedIn

Welcome to the Hughes Hubbard Anticorruption and Internal investigation Practice Group's podcast, where host Tom Fox and members of the Hughes Hubbard Anticorruption and Internal Investigation Practices Group delve into the legal issues surrounding white-collar and other investigations, both domestically and internationally. Laura Perkins and Mike Huneke join Tom on this episode to discuss the changes to the Department of Justice's Corporate Enforcement Policy. Laura Perkins is the Co-Chair of the Anti-Corruption & Internal Investigations practice group and Co-Managing Partner of the Washington, DC office at Hughes Hubbard & Reed. Prior to joining the firm, Laura worked for nearly ten years at the Criminal Division of the U.S. Department of Justice, where she served as Assistant Chief of the FCPA Unit and oversaw some of the largest individual and corporate FCPA cases in the U.S. Laura now advises corporations, boards of directors, and senior executives on high-stakes government and internal investigations, crisis management, white-collar criminal defense, and cross-border compliance counseling. She has particular expertise in FCPA/anti-corruption, healthcare fraud, financial fraud, and money laundering cases. Mike Huneke is a partner at Hughes Hubbard & Reed, specializing in Anti-Corruption & Internal Investigations. His work involves advising clients on navigating complex international anti-corruption investigations, implementing compliance risk assessments and program enhancements, and conducting due diligence on third parties. He has received several awards, including Lexology's Client Choice Award for Investigations-USA in 2022 and recognition from Global Investigations Review for his work representing Airbus in resolving bribery and corruption allegations. Key ideas you'll hear in this episode: The Department of Justice's corporate enforcement policy has been expanded to a broader range of white-collar crimes. Prosecutors can use it to evaluate possible criminal violations against a company when investigating potential criminal violations. It's also an unofficial guide for companies on how to position themselves to avoid prosecution or mitigate consequences. The new policy offers up to a 75% discount for self-reporting, which is a significant change and an additional incentive for companies to self-report. The discounts offered can stack up quickly, and the range of penalties for non-compliance can be large, so the discount can make a marked difference in the amount of criminal penalty under the sentencing guidelines. There may still be apprehension about self-reporting, as there is uncertainty about the actual penalties and the reputational harm that can result from a public criminal resolution. The definition of extraordinary cooperation is subjective and largely depends on the speed and fulsomeness of the material that is going from the company to the department. KEY QUOTES: “One of the major [changes to the Corporate Enforcement Policy is] increasing the maximum potential fine reduction that a company can get for self-reporting. It's a further effort by the Department to incentivize self-reporting.” - Laura Perkins “I think the more that the government is able to show examples of the application of this increased benefit for exceptionally cooperating recidivists and ABB is actually a great example of that.” - Mike Huneke Resources: Hughes Hubbard & Reed website Laura Perkins on LinkedIn Mike Huneke on LinkedIn

Each of us has visions of what we want in life- things we hope to do, achieve, and experience. Envisioning, planning, and daydreaming about these things can be useful and is certainly enjoyable, but when it comes time to take action to try and make them a reality…well, that can be intimidating, even frightening. It's often tempting--and always easier--to simply enjoy the daydream. So how do we inspire ourselves to act? To take that first step towards making our dreams a reality? For Laura Perkins, it means remembering the “beauty, magic, and power” of boldness, even in the seemingly small actions of sending that email or making that phone call. She joined me today to talk about her career, building a community, and being willing to be bold.

Laura Perkins resides in Michigan with her husband, 2 dogs and 2 cats. They are eagerly anticipating the arrival of their baby daughter in December!   Currently, Laura provides 1-1 behavior consulting for families and their dogs through her business Laura Perkins Animal Behavior.  She also provides virtual services through Kiki Yablon Dog Training.  For the first time this summer Laura served as a TA for Susan Friedman's Living and Learning with Animals course.   Laura began training dogs as a young kind in 4-h where she was introduced to what we would today call “balanced training”.  Her “aha” moment regarding clicker training and positive reinforcement based methods was via an agility instructor who used Laura's dog Sammy as a demo to free shape getting on the table and laying down.  This was the moment that led Laura to pursue an understanding of how this stuff works!   Laura graduated from the University of Illinois in 2009 with a bachelor's degree in Animal Science.  She wasn't satisfied with her learning regarding behavior specifically so she went on to pursue a master's degree in Applied Behavior Analysis at the University of North Texas where she graduated in 2012.  There she studied with Jesús-Rosales-Ruiz and was an active member of the ORCA lab (Organization for Reinforcement Contingencies with Animals).   Between graduate school and now, Laura has worked at a doggy daycare, has served as the behaviorist on staff at a county shelter in Oregon, and has continued to grow her business.   Laura's dog hobbies are doing nosework, obedience and occasionally some at-home agility with her two dogs Dan (Herding Dog Multi Blend) and Doug (Border Collie).  Outside of dog training, Laura enjoys hiking, gardening and is learning to play the guitar.

Welcome to the Hughes Hubbard Anti-Corruption and Internal Investigations Practice Group's Podcast, All Things Investigations. In this podcast, host Tom Fox and returning guest, Laura Perkins of the Hughes Hubbard Anti-Corruption & Internal Investigations Practice Group, highlight some of the key legal issues in white-collar investigations, locally and internationally. Laura Perkins is a Hughes Hubbard partner whose practice focuses on representing clients in Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and white-collar criminal investigations, including government enforcement actions and compliance counseling. She also advises clients on issues related to the FCPA, the federal securities laws, the False Claims Act, and other federal statutes. Key areas we explain on this podcast are: How the Monaco Memo instructs prosecutors to evaluate the prosecution of individuals responsible for corporate crime. The Monaco Memo is guiding prosecutors to charge more foreign individuals as opposed to less. Steps a company can take to show timeliness to the DOJ. The Memo underscores the DOJ's desire for companies to self-report misconduct that they become aware of. Previously, in determining whether a monitorship was appropriate, prosecutors would look at what state your compliance program was in at the time of resolution. The importance of clear communication in understanding the DOJ's expectations. Resources Hughes Hubbard & Reed website  Laura Perkins on LinkedIn The Hughes Hubbard & Reed website has been updated with the following Anti-Corruption & Internal Investigations advisory: Cutting Through the Noise: Take‑Aways from the DOJ's Recent Announcements Regarding Corporate Criminal Enforcement On September 15, 2022, Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco announced a series of policy revisions to the U.S. Department of Justice's approach to criminal enforcement actions against corporations. At a high-level, these new policy revisions show the Department's desire to take an approach to criminal enforcement that targets the individuals directly responsible for corporate misconduct and encourages companies to assist in preventing misconduct by creating effective compliance programs and cultures. Companies should carefully review these policy changes and identify steps they can take to put themselves in the best position possible should they be subject to a criminal investigation in the future.  For our discussion about these developments, follow this link to our website. Practice Co-Chair Laura Perkins will cover this topic in-depth in an All Things Investigations podcast, which will be released on Monday, Sept. 26.

Welcome to the Hughes Hubbard Anti-Corruption and Internal Investigations Practice Group's Podcast, All Things Investigations. In this podcast, host Tom Fox and members of the Hughes Hubbard Anti-Corruption & Internal Investigations Practice Group will highlight some of the key legal issues involved in white-collar and other investigations, both domestically and internationally. In this episode, I speak with Laura Perkins and Jan Dunin-Wascowicz about the intersection of international arbitration, anti-bribery, and anti-corruption compliance. Laura Perkins is a Hughes Hubbard partner whose practice focuses on representing clients in Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and white-collar criminal investigations, including government enforcement actions and compliance counseling. Jan Dunin-Wascowicz is an expert in cross-border compliance and regulatory enforcement, multi-jurisdictional internal and government investigations, as well as transnational litigation and international arbitration in both commercial and investor-State contexts. Key areas we discuss on this podcast are: How increased attention to anti-corruption compliance led to increased arbitration. The Biden administration has taken a strong position that foreign corruption and corruption in general can be a serious national security concern for the United States. Red flags are tools that identify risk areas of inquiry. The outcomes that can arise when a claim of corruption is brought up defensively or against a defendant. The types of cases that tend to attract anti-robbery and anti-corruption issues. Compliance professionals should properly document their due diligence activities.

Behavior analysis isn't limited to working with humans or their systems and organizations. In fact, there's a whole field of study revolving around animal behavior. And similar to their human counterparts, animals are unique creatures and the science of behavior analysis can help bridge the gap to understanding and working with animals. In this LIVE talk, we meet with BAAAB (Behavior Analysts Analysing Animal Behavior), comprised of Dr. Erica Feuerbacher, Dr. Eduardo J. Fernandez, and Laura Perkins, to discuss how the methodology of behavior analysis that many are familiar with when working with humans can also be applied to working with animals. In particular, we'll be discussing functional analysis, preference assessments, programming and training, and data collection. Learning Objectives: 1. Give examples of various functions of behavior and how the principles of behavior analysis work with functions of animal behavior (and subsequent "programming") 2. Discuss the generalization of various behavioral methods such as data collection, preference assessments, food reinforcement. 3. Unpack “buzzwords” to define them in behavior analytic terms and goals to better serve clients. Take Aways- your bite-sized educational noms - Behavior is behavior is behavior, regardless of the organism we're working with. What makes working with animals different is the need to consider their biology and how the function of their behavior may present itself. - Animal trainers use similar methods to assess reinforcement preference and functions of behavior. Some trainers will recommend the parents of their fur-clients perform preference assessments before training. Not only does it continue to build rapport but consider the behavioral momentum that can occur and roll over onto training more difficult skills. - Marketing is something many people are familiar with; if you want to get more clients, you have to market yourself. We need to consider the information, services that our potential clientele are looking for (what's reinforcing for them) and make sure that we behaviorally define those buzzwords that attract clients.

Kelly here! Have you ever watched an animal training show and thought, “They're using the same techniques I do with my clients!”? Or have you tried to train your pet to perform on command during your zoom calls in an attempt save your sanity during quarantine and lockdown? Then congrats! You've seen how behavior analysis can also be applied to the animal world. In this conversation, we'll discuss some other similarities between working with humans and working with animals, in this case, dogs. Today, I meet with Laura Perkins (socially distanced via Zoom) to discuss her world of animal training, specifically dogs (though we do learn about some other critters she has had the pleasure of working with). She tells us about her history in behavior analysis, her experiences dog training in a pre- and post- pandemic world, and some of the discussions that go on in the animal training community. She also provides some cool resources and information for those interested. Learning Objectives: 1. Identify the behavior analytic principles applied during animal training and compare their implementation to working with other organisms. 2. Evaluate the similarities and differences between working with humans and working with animals. 3. Describe how professional development can look in various applications of behavior analysis outside of human performance. Take Aways- your bite-sized educational noms - Same science, same principles, different organisms. - There are similarities in treating animals and treating humans such as toilet training, sibling training, shaping and reinforcement. - There are several avenues to explore in animal training: zoos, rescues, personal consultant, shows and competitions to name a few Worth: 1 Type Learning CE, 0 ethics, 0 supervision Purchase CEUS for $8 at: https://atypicalba.com/product/ce-certification/ Have some interstellar discussion on our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/atypicalba Check out us out on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/atypicalba/ Don't need CEUs but want to support the show?

Att få tag i ett donerat hjärta för transplantation är som att leta efter en nål i en höstack. Hjärtsvikt påverkar 26 miljoner personer varje år, medan antalet transplantationshjärtan ligger på ungefär 7 500 stycken. Svenska företaget Realheart vill förändra den här situationen genom att utveckla ett artificiellt hjärta. I avsnitt 198 av Heja Framtiden träffar vi Realhearts forskningschef Ina Laura Perkins, som även går under smeknamnet Dr Blod. Hon leder arbetet med att kliniskt bevisa att det inom några år kan vara möjligt att genomföra den första mänskliga hjärttransplantationen med den nya produkten. Redan nu har man lyckats få får att överleva med det konstgjorda hjärtat. Som stapelvara på världens sjukhus skulle det kunna ge fler goda levnadsår till väldigt många hjärtpatienter i framtiden.
