CEE Legal Matters is proud to introduce the fourth guide in our new Comparative Guides series. This one focuses on White Collar Crime in CEE.
Co-edited by our friends at Clifford Chance, the CEE Legal Matters Comparative Legal Guide: White Collar Crime 2022 provides critical information on the legal framework regarding bribery and corruption in the CEE region. It allows for a comparison between jurisdictions as to how bribery is defined, if there is criminal liability for corporate entities, what are the sanctions and limitation periods, are there any defenses, and what is the role of anti-corruption compliance.
It comes at a particularly important time, as our co-editors noted in their foreword, corruption is growing in the CEE region with Eastern Europe’s score in the Corruption Perceptions Index is the second-lowest of the regions it looked at.
The guide can be accessed in electronic format here and in pdf format here.
