Current trends of increased demand in raw materials from developing countries and declining productions in developed countries has posed a challenge for mining executives who need to have a firm grasp of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) of 1977 as they conduct business abroad. Mike Koehler, senior counsel in Foley’s Milwaukee office and a member of the firm’s White Collar Defense & Corporate Compliance and General Commercial Litigation Practices as well as the International Business Industry Team, authored the article, “Avoiding FCPA Pitfalls in Emerging Mining Hotspots,” which was published in the July/August 2007 issue of Engineering & Mining Journal, where he provides guidelines for complying with the FCPA and avoiding any violations.
