Don't let your business get trapped by corrupt or shady business practices as you try to beat competitors in some of the more challenging markets around the world. We've all heard how facilitation payments, pay-to-play expenses, or blatant bribery may be needed to get business in some parts of the world. Even if your firm is operating ethically, your employees may face some risks and dangers abroad that are never encountered at home. You need to know what is legal and illegal in both the United States and in your target markets and what kind of trouble may exist in order to preserve your firm's reputation, avoid criminal penalties, and reduce the exposure of your company and employees to even greater danger in the future.
