The Department of Justice this week gave chief compliance officers and in-house counsel its own version of a Halloween fright, announcing several significant changes to its enforcement policies—from new expectations about the disclosure of non-privileged information to the evaluation of recidivist companies to an even higher likelihood of settling companies receiving a corporate monitor.
The announcements came in virtual remarks delivered Thursday by Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco at the ABA’s 36th National Institute on White Collar Crime. Monaco shared actions the Department of Justice will be taking to strengthen its response to corporate crime and what areas it will be looking at moving forward.
