Certain anti-corruption and anti-fraud regulations such as the UK Bribery Act 2010, the French SAPIN II, and the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act enjoy an extraterritorial application, which is why Dimension Legal RVS provides consultancy on drafting and adoption of compliance programs and later on negotiations with relevant bodies for the purpose of exclusion or reduction of possible sanctions.
