Committee Overview

The Business Crime's primary objective is to promote awareness within the business community and among transactional lawyers of the growing significance of legal compliance.

The Committee has recently been focusing on the new trends of international co-operation in criminal matters. Topics covered in recent seminars and conferences include discussions on money laundering issues and on the new legal framework designed to combat bribery and corrupt practices in international business transactions.

• With business crime issues expanding and diversifying, Committee members will receive a twice-yearly Newsletter, providing an update on the exciting legal developments, seminars and publications of interest around the world;
• Membership of the Committee offers an excellent opportunity to network with other lawyers who work in the business crime field, and also serves as a very useful way for practising lawyers to keep up-to-date with developments and increase their knowledge in this area;
• Committee members have access to a wealth of information including access to Speakers' papers from recent seminars and journal articles.

Additionally, the Business Crime Committee works with the following Committee to form the Criminal Law Section:
