The CFTC’s newest enforcement advisory is an announcement that the CFTC is entering the FCPA enforcement space—but historically, this is a space that the DOJ and the SEC have enforced. What impact will the CFTC’s entry into this crowded enforcement space have? S&C litigation partners Katy McArthur and Aisling O’Shea discuss what this shift means for corporations in the latest episode of the S&C Critical Insights podcast series.
S&C and Stanford Law School jointly sponsor and maintain the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act Clearinghouse, a public database that aggregates and curates source documents and provides analytic tools relating to enforcement of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.

She has represented companies in connection with internal investigations and a wide range of inquiries by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and the U.S. Department of Justice, as well as in inquiries by the CME, ICE and other exchanges and self-regulatory organizations.
Aisling O’Shea is a partner in S&C’s Criminal Defense & Investigations Group and the co-head of the Firm’s FCPA & Anti-Corruption practice.
