Deferred Prosecution Agreements

Ruby Hamid and Neil Donovan of Ashurst together with Simon Taylor (Forensic Risk Alliance), and Rebecca Chalkley (Red Lion Chambers) will be discussing the UK's deferred prosecution agreement regime.

Since their introduction in 2014, DPAs have become the preferred enforcement tool of the Serious Fraud Office in cases involving corporate misconduct. Have the DPAs agreed to date had a positive deterrent effect and what role will DPAs have in the future both in the UK and overseas?

This webinar will cover the basics of the DPA regime, an overview of key takeaways from recent cases, relevant considerations for corporates when considering whether to enter into a DPA process, and current trends in the global enforcement landscape.

A recording of the session is available below. Slides are available at the bottom of the page. A transcript of the webinar is also available.
