“Hedge funds are under the FCPA microscope now,” Lauren Resnick, a partner at Baker Hostetler LLP, warned during a recent panel discussion addressing corruption risks that private fund managers, including hedge fund managers, face.  She and her colleague Marc Kornfeld, along with James “Bucky” Canales, Chief Operating Officer of StoneWater Capital LLC, detailed how the FCPA affects the private fund industry and what hedge fund managers and others should be doing to minimize the risk of an FCPA violation, or the violation of another global anti-bribery law.  This article highlights salient points from the panel discussion.  See also “Practical Considerations for Compliance by Hedge Fund Managers with the FCPA When Evaluating and Engaging Foreign Advisors in Connection with Foreign Bankruptcy Investments,” Hedge Fund Law Report, Vol. 4, No. 34 (Sep. 29, 2011).
