Description
Why should you buy Lissack and Horlick on Bribery and Corruption third edition?
“The new edition of this comprehensive work offers a full overview of the legislation set in both a national and international context, with a full explanation of the scope of the Act and Ministry of Justice guidance together with detailed insight into anti-corruption measures and sentencing. Written by expert practitioners in white-collar international crime (with a magic circle and Foreign Corrupt Practices Act practitioner contributions), it offers a definitive voice amid fear and confusion toward the new bribery legal system. While both authoritative and accessible, it offers a clear emphasis on all practical issues with each chapter ending with a bullet-point list summarising key points to be considered.”

• Deferred prosecution agreements (DPA)s x 4
• Recent pre BA corruption trials and the learning points/ challenges in prosecuting or defending historic bribery offences
