In a commentary for FCPA Blog, Joseph Spinelli, a Senior Managing Director at Ankura, and Jared Pilosio, a Senior Associate at the firm, offer suggestions to construction firms for staying on the right side of the FCPA. “The biggest risks global construction companies must address are those associated with dealing with government contracts,” they write. “In certain regions, bribery is almost a normal part of doing business and companies may have to partner with local firms that often have close relationships with government agents. These factors in particular increase the risk for construction companies of violating the FCPA.”
