CMS EXPERT GUIDE TO ANTI-BRIBERY AND CORRUPTION LAWS




We are delighted to present the 7th edition of the CMS Guide to Anti-Bribery and
Corruption Laws. Guide is now available in both offline PDF format and online on
our website.

The purpose of the Guide is to provide an overview of anti-bribery and
corruption laws in 52 countries worldwide. We are extremely fortunate and
grateful that so many national experts have provided such clear and detailed
content on the bribery laws of each jurisdiction. In our seventh edition, we
have included new entries from eight additional countries: Algeria, Angola,
Argentina, Morocco, Mozambique, North Macedonia, Norway and Sweden.

Since the last edition in 2021, 17 out of the 44 jurisdictions have introduced
substantive changes to their anti-corruption laws. The vast majority of these
have widened the scope of offences or introduced stronger penalties for breach.

As with previous editions, this Guide provides answers to the following key
questions for each of the 52 countries:

 * what are the offences?
 * who can be liable and when?
 * what are the penalties?
 * what are the defences?

Of course, the answers will be generic – nothing in this publication amounts to
legal advice. However the hope is that this information will provide users with
an initial starting point when considering particular national regimes, as well
as points of contact should specific advice be needed.
