The Bribery Act…..Are you ready  

Over recent months businesses have had to become familiar with the content of The Bribery Act 2010, but do we really understand its implications, what it means to us as individuals and the impact it will have on day to day business practices?  

Scheduled to come into force in July 2011, the Act is designed to modernise and consolidate the existing laws on bribery and creates a number of new offences relating to the giving and receiving of bribes, including the corporate offence of failing to prevent bribery.

The key step that businesses should take before the Act comes into force is to put in place "adequate procedures" to prevent those associated with it from committing bribery offences.

This interactive forum considers the background to the Act and its impact on companies, particularly in the science and technology industry and a question and answer session will help you to consider your company's current procedures and procedures that you should put in place.

The seminar will be delivered by Mike Rainford Head of Business Crime at Burton Copeland LLP and Perry Lux, Director at CBG Group plc who will explain the insurance implications of the Act and appropriate risk management strategies. It will be held at Liverpool Science Park, Innovation Centre 2, (ic2)

Mike Rainford will discuss the legal implications involved for all companies and their officers. Perry Lux will discuss the insurances and programmes that businesses should implement to minimize the risk of liability arising from the conduct and activities of their staff.

We expect interest in this event to be high and would encourage you to register your interest promptly.
