| Law stated as at 31 Dec 2020 • China |
A quick guide to the resources in the China anti-bribery and anti-corruption topic collection which includes resources to help lawyers qualified in jurisdictions within and outside China to advise on anti-bribery and anti-corruption compliance and investigations in China.
Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption Topic Collection
What is the first thing you should tell a client who calls up to say that the Ministry of Public Security (MPS) is raiding their China office on suspicion of bribery? What clauses should you include in an anti-corruption policy for China? Is a company obliged to disclose allegations of bribery that come to light in its China offices, and if so, to whom?
Resources under the Anti-bribery and anti-corruption topic collection help lawyers advise on matters concerning anti-corruption compliance, investigations and due diligence into counterparties and potential M&A targets within China.
This collection includes:
- Standard documents including an anti-corruption policy, employee code of conduct and standard operating procedures, anti-corruption and anti-bribery due diligence questionnaire and report, anti-corruption and anti-bribery covenants and warranties and memorandum to board of directors on bribery and corruption compliance obligations.
- Practice notes explaining the practical impact of anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws and regulations, including detailed overviews of the legal framework, how to advise on internal and external investigations into allegations of corruption, what to do during a dawn raid from the State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) or the MPS, the implications of China’s state secrets laws and a comparison of the US, UK and Chinese regimes.
