Women, Influence & Power in Law Conference The Recorder: How did your background at the DOJ influence your current role? This is your first in-house role. Did anything surprise you when you started working in this position? Any new challenges? You work with global regulations—how do you ensure you have an in-depth understanding of laws worldwide? How do you and your team learn about these various global regulations? Foreign Corrupt Practices Act or the U.K. Bribery Act. To put that together, it took a long time and a lot of work. We consulted with outside counsel in the U.S. that had done similar work like this, and had them give us an overview. We worked with our regional counsel in every country to make sure they agreed, that the laws the outside counsel found were what the regional counsel found the laws to be. They made sure our policies incorporated any practice that might not be required by law, but would be the best way to handle dealing with public-sector officials. We checked to see if there are local customs we ought to know about. How do you pass compliance information on to employees? With such a global team of inside and outside counsel, how does communication work?
