The Bribery Act Book - Richard Lissack QC andFiona Horlick
The Bribery Act Book
No new piece of legislation has caused as much debate, argument and confusion as the new Bribery Act 2010. Its broad extra territorial scope will presage the possibility of senior non UK executives of international companies facing jury trial for acts carried out by their employees overseas.

Lissack & Horlick on Bribery by Richard Lissack QC & Fiona Horlick (and others) offers a comprehensive overview of the new legislation, nationally and internationally. It covers the scope of the Act with guidance on anti-corruption measures and sentencing.
