Steve Fagell 代表公司、董事会和高级管理人员处理政府执法、内部调查和股东诉讼事务。

作为白领犯罪辩护和调查业务的合伙人以及反腐败业务的联合主席，Fagell先生主要提供涉及复杂的法律、政治和名誉风险的刑事和民事监管法律服务。他经常代表客户处理涉及美国司法部、证券交易委员会和其他执法和监管机构的法律事务。Fagell先生还为生命科学、金融服务、国防、科技、能源和制造行业的客户提供多种白领犯罪事务法律咨询，包括与海外贿赂、公司举报、内幕交易、会计欺诈、银行、政府合同、出口管制和跨国税务有关的事务。Fagell先生曾负责财富500强客户在中国、俄国和其他地方的高度敏感的内部调查，并曾为被称为美国历史上最大的个人所得税避税案被告辩护。该避税案（美国政府对Anderson）产生了一个关键的证据展示判决，该判决树立了有利于文件密集型白领犯罪被告的判例。

Fagell先生曾担任美国司法部刑法司副办公厅主任兼顾问。作为刑法司的高级领导团队成员（2009-2010），Fagell先生是助理司法部长Lanny A. Breuer在诉讼、政策、立法和管理等多个领域的关键顾问。在此任职期间，Fagell先生还参加了与《反海外腐败法》、公司和证券欺诈以及其他形式金融欺诈等有关的刑法司政策的制定。Fagell先生还负责协调刑法司与金融欺诈执法工作组和金融危机调查委员会的工作，并经常代表刑法司参加与证券交易委员会、联邦调查局以及其他主要监管机构和执法机构的沟通交流。

自从回到私营领域执业后，Fagell经常对《多德-弗兰克法案》下的证券交易委员会举报机制进行评论，并经常对《反海外腐败法》执法和金融欺诈进行评论。其曾接受多家媒体的采访，包括消费者新闻与商业频道（CNBC）、《国家法律期刊》（ National Law Journal）、《美国律师》（ American Lawyer）、《公司董事会成员》（ Corporate Board Member）、《Corporate Crime Reporter》和《合规周刊》（ Compliance Week）

The Supreme Court Limits the SEC's Disgorgement Power

On Monday, in Kokesh v. SEC, the Supreme Court handed a major loss to the Securities and Exchange Commission, unanimously holding that SEC claims for disgorgement of ill-gotten gains are subject to a five-year statute of limitations. The Kokesh decision also calls into question the proper measure of disgorgement (e.g., gross versus net profits) and even whether the SEC and potentially other federal government agencies have authority to seek disgorgement at all.

反腐败执法的趋势和动态

反腐败执法正处于一个十字路口。在许多方面，全球反腐败执法空前活跃。美国司法部（“司法部”）与美国证券交易委员会（“证交会”）在2016年通过针对27个企业被告的美国《反海外腐败法》（“FCPA”）执法行动总计获得24.1亿美元，其中包括其在与巴西建筑集团Odebrecht S.A.及其关联方Braskem S.A.达成的创纪录的35亿美元全球和解中享有的份额，以及与梯瓦制药达成的5.15亿美元的和解（与生命科学公司达成的迄今最大的FCPA和解）。上述和解当然是值得注意的，但2016年值得记住的不仅仅是高额的和解。司法部刑事司欺诈处启动了一项FCPA试点计划，以鼓励主动披露和更高程度的配合；美国宣布了几项与外国政府联合协同进行的并行执法行动；以及，许多个人在美国和海外在企业实体达成和解的同时面临指控，这也许反映了一个新的趋势。

Recent Developments in Enforcement of U.S. Export Controls and Sanctions Laws

Over the past few months, the agencies responsible for criminal and civil enforcement of U.S. export control and economic sanctions laws have implemented a number of important changes in their enforcement practices. In October 2016, the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”), National Security Division (“NSD”) published guidance on voluntary self-disclosures of criminal export control and sanctions violations. In June 2016, the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security (“BIS”) updated its guidance on charging and penalty determinations for civil violations of export control regulations. And effective August 2016 and January 2017, the agencies responsible for civil enforcement of export control and sanctions regulations increased the maximum civil penalties for violations of those regulations. Each of these recent updates is discussed in more detail below.

Any Agreements with Employees Might Implicate Whistleblower Rules

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) continues to aggressively pursue companies using severance and other employment agreements that could be perceived to discourage employees from reporting possible securities law violations. Three enforcement actions this past summer demonstrate the need for companies to proactively review and give consideration to any provision in an employee agreement that could be interpreted as impeding whistleblowing activity—regardless of whether the agreement has actually stifled potential whistleblowers or was intended to do so.
