  • Without Fear or Favor: The Last of the Watchdogs Revisited

    Without Fear or Favor: The Last of the Watchdogs Revisited
    Sep 2 2025
    In March of 2025, Former Inspector General of the Department of the Interior Mark Lee Greenblatt and I discussed the firing of the Inspectors General and its far-reaching implications for the country. With the blizzard of Executive Orders, high profile government firings and other maneuvers that appear to continue to tear down government agencies, it would be easy to forget about firing of the IGs and the long term consequences. Mark Lee Greenblatt is making it his mission so that the American people don’t lost sight of that fact. At the time of the firing of the IGs, we could only engage in conjecture as to what the long-term implications would be. On January 24, 2025, President Trump fired 16 inspectors general of the 16 largest, most complex U.S. government agencies and a 17th, the IG for USAID Paul Martin, 2 weeks later. The number has since risen to 20. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • Monitorships and Leniency Agreements in Latin America

    Monitorships and Leniency Agreements in Latin America
    Aug 26 2025
    Petrobras, Braskem, Odebrecht, Stericycle and other U.S. style compliance and regulatory actions continue to be more commonplace across Latin America in the past decade. Indeed, there has been a tectonic shift in the implementation of leading industry compliance program overhauls following significant investigations and prosecutions. Some of those matters have included the use of legal tools such as monitorships and deferred prosecution agreements. While organizations on the receiving end of what is sometimes referred to in Latin America as a “leniency agreement” and/or the imposition of a compliance monitor may not welcome these measures or the costs. And yet done correctly, they can deliver long term benefits that over time may lead to improved profitability, transparency, stronger ethical culture and improved morale.

  • Exporting Compliance – Conducting Compliance Investigations Across Latin America

    Exporting Compliance – Conducting Compliance Investigations Across Latin America
    Jul 15 2025
    The world is a turbulent place in 2025 and doing business outside of the U.S. means needing to understand and to be able to react to a dynamic and evolving risk environment. The many countries and amazing people comprising Latin America are an important customer base and trading partner for most global organizations. Many global businesses have significant operations in the region and despite the turbulence, the region is full of opportunity. Drug cartels, transnational crime groups and gang violence, corrupt public officials, unstable governments, and professional kidnap for ransom operations are just a handful of the challenges that face global organizations operating in Latin America. To take advantage of the bountiful opportunities across the region, organizations need to be able to proactively identify, manage and mitigate these and other operational risks. It starts with knowing who you are doing business with, their reputations, prior conduct and whether their political connections are a help or a significant hindrance. Likewise, it is equally important to be able to deploy international counsel and their partners to triage crises, investigate negative events, stabilize volatile situations, understand and act upon the compliance implications and pursue avenues of recovery when losses occur.
