In order to provide an overview for busy in-house counsel and compliance professionals, we summarize below some of the most important international anti-corruption developments in the past month with links to primary resources. Here is our March 2015 Top Ten list:

1. Senior DOJ White Collar Prosecutor James Koukios Joins Morrison & Foerster. James Koukios, who served in the Fraud Section of the Criminal Division at the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), most recently as Senior Deputy Chief, has joined MoFo’s Washington, D.C. office as a partner in the Securities Litigation, Enforcement & White Collar Criminal Defense Practice Group. Read the press release here. Mr. Koukios is the second high-ranking DOJ prosecutor to join MoFo in the past year, following the 2014 arrival of former Fraud Section Deputy Chief Charles Duross, who served as head of the DOJ’s Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) Unit. In his most recent position, Mr. Koukios oversaw the FCPA, Health Care Fraud, and Securities and Financial Fraud Units. With the addition of Mr. Koukios, who previously served as an Assistant Chief in the FCPA Unit and tried two of the most significant FCPA-related cases in the past decade, MoFo is the only law firm in the world with two former FCPA Unit managers. Indeed, Mr. Koukios’ arrival comes just two months after Amanda Aikman, another former FCPA Unit prosecutor, joined MoFo’s New York office as a senior associate. Besides handling a variety of significant cases, Ms. Aikman played a central role in the initial drafting of the DOJ’s and SEC’s FCPA Resource Guide.
