Samantha Badlam and Sean Seelinger to Discuss Global Fraud Enforcement Implications for Brazilian Companies

Event
October 1, 2025

Ropes & Gray will co-host the Lefosse x Ropes & Gray Brazil Roundtable, “Fraud Enforcement Around the Globe: Legal and Strategic Updates,” on Wednesday, October 1.

This invite-only program brings together cross-border practitioners to examine the fast-evolving fraud landscape and its implications for companies operating in Brazil. Ropes & Gray partners Samantha Badlam and Sean Seelinger will join Lefosse partners Adriana Dantas and Roberto Zarour for a practical discussion on evolving legislation, enforcement priorities and effective risk mitigation.

Sean will address the UK's recently launched Failure to Prevent Fraud Offence and its consequences for multinational compliance frameworks. Samantha will provide an update on U.S. enforcement trends for fraud cases, including developments in compliance programs to prevent and detect fraud.

The panelists will also analyze case studies highlighting governance controls, investigations, remediation and shareholder and investor protection. Attendees will gain actionable insights to strengthen prevention strategies amid heightened expectations that companies proactively deter and respond to fraud, as well as best practices with respect to whistleblower response and crisis management.
