Every day, companies must navigate a complex maze of rules on corporate compliance issues. It’s up to government agencies, like the Department of Justice (DOJ), to use their enforcement powers fairly, and to provide the guidance necessary for companies to stay on the right side of the law. In the last couple of years, the DOJ has made important reforms designed to promote both compliance and the rule of law.

In this episode, ILR’s Executive Vice President, John Abegg, sits down with former Deputy Attorney General David Ogden to discuss the over-criminalizing of American enterprise, what companies can do to stay on the right side of the law, and why a lawyer should still be the first call if a company makes a mistake.
