Milbank LLP Litigation & Arbitration partners Antonia M. Apps and Adam Fee, and special counsel Matthew Laroche, who recently rejoined the firm after his tenure as an Assistant United States Attorney in the Southern District of New York, discuss the US Department of Justice’s (DOJ) focus on “Foreign Agent” cases, including the recent indictment of a former advisor to President Trump, in an article published on the Harvard Law School Forum on Corporate Governance, a leading online resource on corporate governance issues.
In “The Impact of DOJ’s Charges Against a Former Trump Advisor on Companies Working with Foreign Clients,” the authors discuss how the indictment of the former advisor and other recent Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) cases reinforce the risk of civil and criminal exposure for US individuals and companies assisting foreign customers or clients. US individuals and companies should be attuned to these issues when a business contact is a foreign official, has connections to a foreign government, or seeks assistance with political or quasi-political matters within the US.
