John Pirie, Matthew Latella, Arlan Gates, Ben Sakamoto and Sarah Mavula have again authored the Canada Chapter in Chambers and Partners White-Collar Crime 2021 Global Practice Guide. This annual publication features detailed chapters prepared by leading corporate fraud and white collar practitioners in 28 jurisdictions.
“This guide […] is designed to provide lawyers and all other practitioners with an overview of the various systems of regulation in the specific field of white-collar crime, practical guidance regarding the application and enforcement of these laws, and insight into potential future developments.
This field includes many subdisciplines that we have endeavoured to cover exhaustively within the present guide, such as criminal company law and corporate fraud, anti-bribery law, market abuses, tax fraud regulations, criminal competition law, consumer criminal law, cybercriminality and anti-money laundering law.
White-collar crime legislation and enforcement has developed considerably over the past decade, with a multiplication of the offences related to business practice and a strengthening of prosecution authorities. While commentators had been calling for the decriminalisation of some offences that they considered detrimental to business, it is clearly the opposite stance that has prevailed.” – Chambers and Partners
