Episode #65 with Tom Fox & Malcolm Nance, plus Philip Rohlik This episode is devoted to discussing the recent executive order signed by US President Donald J. Trump instructing the Department of Justice to halt enforcement of the decades old, much-dreaded Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) pending a one-year review. In our initial “Regulatory Ramblings Spotlight” segment, we speak with Philip Rohlik, an American attorney in mainland China with the law firm Debevoise & Plimpton to get a sense of what the president's decision means for Hong Kong and the broader Asia-Pacific. Following that, we have a lengthier chat on the global implications of President's Trump's move with Tom Fox, a veteran compliance and anti-corruption lawyer, noted FCPA specialist and podcaster, as well as Malcolm Nance, a former US naval intelligence officer, counterterrorism specialist and author. About the guests. Philip Rohlik is a counsel in the Shanghai office of Debevoise & Plimpton LLP. He is a member of the firm's White Collar & Regulatory Defense and International Dispute Resolution Groups whose practice focuses on international investigations, securities law and dispute resolution. He is recognized by “The Legal 500 Asia Pacific – Greater China” (2024-2025) for his anti-corruption and compliance practice and has been described as “very thorough and hands on," and "excellent investigation lawyer". Based in Asia since 2011, Philip leads the firm's dispute resolution team in Shanghai. He joined Debevoise in 2000, having received his J.D. magna cum laude from the New York University School of Law that same year. He received a B.A. summa cum laude with honors from St. Louis University in 1997. Tom Fox is based in West Texas and a prominent member of the compliance community and one of the most well-known legal practitioners when it comes to the FCPA. Over the past 15 years, he has been a general counsel and chief compliance officer. He is now an independent consultant, assisting companies with anti-corruption, anti-bribery compliance, and international transaction issues. He is also the author of the award-winning FCPA Compliance and Ethics Blog and the international best-selling book “Lessons Learned on Compliance and Ethics.” His podcasts have won numerous w3, Davey, Communicator, and Webby awards for podcasting excellence. Tom is the author of the seminal text “The Compliance Handbook,” now in its 5th edition published by LexisNexis. In addition to his blog and podcast, he is a columnist for “Corporate Compliance Insights” and a contributing editor to the “FCPA Blog.” He is a well-known and frequent speaker on compliance and ethics issues, social media use, and corporate leadership. In the interests of full disclosure, Tom is founder of the Compliance Podcast Network which also carries this program. Malcolm Nance is based in upstate New York. He was a 20-year veteran of the US Navy where he was an intelligence officer and cryptographer, and a Russian and Arab language specialist. In his capacity as a master chief, he was responsible for discipline all throughout the ranks. He is best known for his appearances on MSNBC where he warned about Russian interference in the run up to the 2016 and 2020 US Presidential elections. Malcolm is also a best-selling author – with his books “The Plot to Hack America,” “The Plot to Destroy Democracy,” “The Plot to Betray America” and most recently “They Want to Kill Americans” – all of which are well worth reading. Given the radical actions of the second Trump administration, his two most recent books seem eerily prescient. HKU FinTech is the leading fintech research and education in Asia.

The first million-selling hit from Motown is our theme this week. (RIP Barrett Strong, 1941-2023) Virtually all political scandals involve either seeking greater power, or money. This week's discussion focuses on the latter. We are joined in the podcast by two national leaders in the drive to disrupt the political money machine: Gabe Lezra from Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics (better known as CREW), and Lisa Gilbert from Public Citizen. Topping the political news this week: legislative Democrats move quickly on economic development, two major tax cuts and the presidential primary; Haley Stevens rules out a Senate race; Republicans double down on whining about 2020 and the Big Lie; and Florida provides a preview of the Big Brother mentality that could be the mantra of our next President. Lisa Gilbert is the Executive Vice President at Public Citizen. She advocates for government transparency and integrity, financial reform, civil justice, and consumer protections. Lisa has testified before Congress, and been quoted in publications such as the New York Times, the Associated Press, the Wall Street Journal, USA Today, the Washington Post and NPR. She was also a featured contributor to the National Journal's "Expert Blog" on lobbying and ethics, and writes frequently for USA Today, Yahoo Finance, and The Hill. Gabe Lezra is the Federal Policy Manager and a Senior Counsel at Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), where he specializes in anti-corruption, democracy reform, and government ethics law. He also serves as the Policy Working Group Leader at the Declaration for American Democracy (DFAD) coalition, where he has helped develop the coalition's democracy reform agenda. Prior to joining CREW, Gabe served as a counsel at the American Association for Justice and as a financial institutions and consumer law associate at Debevoise and Plimpton LLP in New York. Gabe received his J.D. with honors from Georgetown Law and his B.A. with high honors from Wesleyan University.

Andrew Levine is a partner at Debevoise & Plimpton LLP, who specializes in white-collar regulatory defense and internal investigations. He joins Vince Walden to discuss the compliance journey, what initiatives compliance professionals should take in 2021, and the recently updated DOJ compliance journey. The DOJ guidance that came out in June 2020 is a step in the right direction in terms of understanding how prosecutors incorporate compliance programs into their decision-making, Andrew says. It offers real, actionable advice for building a framework for analyzing a computer program. The guidance is centered around three critical questions: Is the program well designed? Is it adequately resourced and empowered to function effectively? And, does it work in practice?  As prosecutors' expectations for what makes up an effective compliance program continue to rise, leaders should think about enhancement opportunities. “Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good,” Andrew counsels. “Develop a reasonable plan, think about resourcing for implementation, think about a timetable that works, and then execute while understanding that the compliance journey is a never-ending one.” Resources Andrew Levine on LinkedIn

On Episode 32 of The Activist Files, Senior Managing Attorney Shayana Kadidal speaks with Ramzi Kassem about the case of American Muslims who were placed or kept on the No-Fly List in retaliation for refusing to spy on their communities. Ramzi, Professor of Law and Director of the CLEAR project (Creating Law Enforcement Accountability & Responsibility) at CUNY School of Law, argued Tanvir v. Tanzin before the U.S. Supreme Court on October 6, 2020, and Shane and the Center for Constitutional Rights are co-counsel (along with the law firm of Debevoise & Plimpton LLP). They discuss how our clients' lives were turned upside down by the FBI and how the men were removed from the No-Fly List just before their first major court date. They talk about the legal questions before the Court, whether the Religious Freedom Restoration Act was intended to allow for damages, and what we can expect going forward. It's a lively conversation between two lawyers who have worked together closely for many years and a peek behind the curtains of what it's like to argue a case before the highest court in the land via video camera. ResourcesTanvir v.

With so many people around the world quarantined at home with children, professional life and personal life have never been as intertwined. While the situation may be challenging, it also creates opportunities to show and explain new information to younger people. In this episode of Brand & New, we target a different audience than usual: Kids! We will give them some clues about what intellectual property, or IP, means, with a lot of practical examples. We will talk about trademarks and how to protect them, as well as about copyright and patents. And explain why IP is so important for society and the economy.Audrey Dauvet co-hosts this special episode with Eli, 11. They welcome two brilliant attorneys who are legal authorities on IP matters, and mentioned and published in national and international publications: David Bernstein, Partner, and Megan Bannigan, Counsel, at the law firm Debevoise & Plimpton LLP, in New York, N.Y., USA.David chairs the firm’s IP Litigation Group. He is recognized as one of the nation’s leading IP litigators by Managing IP magazine and The Legal 500, and has been selected as one of the top 10 trademark lawyers in the world by the International Who’s Who of Trademark Lawyers. Megan is a member of the Litigation and Intellectual Property & Media Groups at Debevoise. She has been recognized by Managing IP’s IP STARS, The Legal 500, and Law360 as a Rising Star.But that’s not all! Teaching is not new for them, and they are both amazing pedagogues. David is an adjunct professor at New York University School of Law and George Washington University Law School, while Megan is an adjunct professor at local universities and previously was a Clinical Visiting Lecturer at Law at Yale Law School. They rise up to the challenge of making IP law not only accessible to children, but also fun! Every two weeks, on Tuesday, Brand & New gives the floor to inspiring individuals, with a 360-degree vision, to help brand owners, intellectual property lawyers, and marketing and finance professionals (and beyond!) stay curious and agile in an ever-evolving business environment.

In this episode…Dean Emily Gold Waldman of Pace Law School explains how to deal with a statute that is facially neutral but has a disparate impact with respect to a class that has a heightened review.

Today, every bar, restaurant, sidewalk, road and bridge anywhere in the world has become a terrorist target. Attacks are often conducted by lone wolves or small cells. This makes the acquisition and sharing of intelligence by government agencies an urgent priority. Yet nations must find a balance between surveillance and privacy.

Corruption has become a hot topic in Public International Law in recent years. In particular, its prevention has been the subject of numerous treaties and soft law instruments, and it has been wielded as a defence to both investment treaty claims and commercial contract claims (which in turn raises questions of private international law). Yet the source and theoretical underpinnings of a supposed international norm prohibiting corruption remains opaque. Tribunals and commentators make reference to “international public policy,” but the question remains whether the supposed prohibition of corruption is a rule of international law, and where it features in the hierarchy of norms. We propose to examine (i) the current “state of play” (i.e., the various ways in which international law addresses and reprimands corruption), (ii) whether Public International Law prohibits corruption and, if so, the source and status of that norm; and (iii) what the future of international anti-corruption efforts might look like.
