SUMMARY:Simultaneous session - Regulatory issues: how to deal with compli
 ance
DESCRIPTION:Compliance issues are now more important than ever for crossb
 order M&amp\;A transactions. Recent high-profile corporate scandals and 
 their political consequences\, widely publicised not only throughout Lat
 in America but globally\, have vividly portrayed the impact that\, for i
 nstance\, corruption allegations can have on the valuation\, reputation 
 and even on the future viability of the companies involved. From the buy
 er’s perspective\, the value of an otherwise profitable target could be 
 greatly reduced if the ghost of corruption pops-up following the closing
  of the transaction. It could even expose the buyer to potential liabili
 ties under the buyer’s own domestic anti-corruption laws. But compliance
  issues go beyond anti-corruption statutes to encompass antitrust\, envi
 ronmental\, international trade\, currency controls\, export controls\, 
 and labour laws among all others. This session will discuss\, from a pra
 ctical perspective\, recent trends in the handling of compliance issues 
 and related liabilities during the due diligence stage\, the negotiation
  of the SPA\, APA or the merger agreement\, and post-closing\, with part
 icular focus on the buyer’s perspective. The panel will also cover the r
 elevance of compliance due diligence under FCPA from a US investor’s per
 spective.\n\nSession Co-Chairs\nEstif Aparicio\, Arias Fabrega &amp\; Fa
