DOJ Policy Shifts on Business Ethics and the Culture of Compliance

A hint of policy change is in the air at the Department of Justice. But are federal regulations going too far? Guided by comments made earlier this year by Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco, Joe DeMaria, a former DOJ attorney turned Fox Rothschild partner, joins host Matt Adams for an engaging discussion. This episode explores how the SEC’s new Listing Standards for Recovery of Erroneously Awarded Compensation Rule could clash with employment laws in various jurisdictions throughout the U.S. and other countries. The conversation also examines the ethics involved in internal white-collar investigations, including the use of so-called “sacrificial lambs” to protect a company.
