The tool aims to draw on the knowledge and resources of the firm’s multidisciplinary team, putting forward key information to the user so that they can “quickly and easily learn about and compare various aspects of international anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws”.

The information currently held is from a list of 23 countries and contains 16 information points, “including a description of prohibited conduct, jurisdictional scope, whether promotional and facilitation payments are allowed, possible direct and ancillary penalties, whether deferred prosecution and non-prosecution agreements are available and links to statutory texts and enforcement resources".

According to the Denton’s website, the tool also provides links to statutory text and law enforcement resources.

In addition, the firm noted that the results of each individual search can easily be shared by email or on social media, and include the appropriate Dentons contact for follow-up support.

Speaking about the launch, Michelle J. Shapiro, partner in Dentons’ White Collar and Government Investigations group and creator of the tool, said: “We’re delighted to offer this value-add to our clients”.
