Making crime pay – As regulators and prosecutors take a harder line on corporate fraud, City law firms are following US rivals by pushing into white-collar crime. Helen Mooney and Alex Novarese report
Negotiated justice? – After years of debate – and despite a hostile judiciary – pressure is building to bring plea bargaining into mainstream UK fraud prosecution. But don't expect an easy ride, says Kingsley Napley's Michael Caplan QC
Watch and wait – White & Case's Alistair Graham says that while deferred prosecution agreements may add to the armoury of UK prosecutors, companies may need greater certainty as to their use in court before they will be willing to self-report
Work in tandem - Self-reporting requires companies to manage a deft balancing act, says Gibson Dunn's Patrick Doris
