Event
November 19, 2025
Attorneys:

Amanda Raad, co-head of the anti-corruption and international risk practice and the R&G Insights Lab, and Katie Daniels, director of ethics & compliance at the Insights Lab, will co-moderate a fireside chat with Richard Bistrong on November 19. 

Richard, a former international sales executive who served jail time following a Foreign Corrupt Practices Act plea agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice, now advises organizations on anti-bribery, ethics, and compliance, drawing on firsthand experience with real-world corruption risk. His perspectives have been featured in Fast Company, Harvard Business Review, and a widely viewed TEDx Talk.

The invite-only conversation will explore human and organizational dynamics that drive misconduct, practical strategies for prevention and accountability in today’s ever-changing global enforcement environment, and how leaders can foster cultures that withstand pressure and ambiguity in global markets.

Through this discussion, attendees will gain insights on building resilient compliance frameworks, shaping effective culture and controls, and engaging with evolving global enforcement expectations.
