Our Privacy practitioners advise clients on international privacy and data protection issues related to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) investigations and other regulatory investigations, including those by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The firm has also provided substantial advice to clients regarding privacy and information law issues that arise in connection with internal investigations and civil discovery access to documents and witnesses that are located outside of the United States. Sidley has developed creative solutions to many of the legal dilemmas posed by foreign data protection and “blocking” statutes (working with appropriate national counsel as necessary or appropriate).
