Christopher Swift Comments on FCPA Enforcement Pause
February 14, 2025
The New York Times
Foley & Lardner LLP partner Christopher Swift commented on the Trump administration’s executive order pausing enforcement of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act in The New York Times article, “Moves by Trump and Bondi Raise Hopes of Those Accused of Foreign Corruption.”
“Every administration changes enforcement priorities,” said Swift, who is co-chair of the firm’s International Trade & National Security Practice. “But one of the difficulties with the personalization of criminal law is some attorneys may be able to obtain outcomes based on who their client is, not what the facts in the case are, and that kind of inconsistent application of the law is corrosive and potentially dangerous for all defendants.”
