2023 was another busy year in the U.S. white-collar and regulatory enforcement areas. As we begin 2024, a few of the Government’s recent enforcement policies and priorities should be kept front of mind: (1) the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) focus on corporate criminal enforcement; (2) DOJ’s related prioritization of sanctions evasion and anti-foreign bribery enforcement; (3) the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s (CFTC) diverging policies on “no-admit/no-deny” settlements; and (4) the cryptoasset space.
