The UK Bribery Act is one of the strictest anti-corruption laws in the world. It applies not only to British companies, but also to international businesses if their activities fall under the jurisdiction of the UK Bribery Act.

Investigations under UK anti-corruption legislation can be initiated by law enforcement agencies, regulators, or as a result of internal reports. For companies and officials, such cases carry serious financial, criminal, and reputational risks.

When protection under the Bribery Act is needed ?

Legal assistance is necessary if:

the company or its employees are suspected of violating the UK Bribery Act;
an internal or external investigation into corrupt practices has been launched;
compliance with the UK Bribery Act needs to be assessed;
there is a risk of sanctions or criminal prosecution.

The lawyers represented on the Consultant platform provide support throughout the investigation stages and full defense in court.

What offenses are covered by the Bribery Act ?

The UK Bribery Act creates the following offenses: giving bribes, receiving bribes, bribing foreign officials, and a company's failure to prevent bribery.

The UK Anti-Bribery Act applies regardless of where the acts are committed, if the company has a connection with the UK. This is why international businesses often fall under the scope of this law.

Potential sanctions and liability

Fines under the UK Bribery Act can be unlimited for companies. The maximum fine for bribery offenses under the UK Bribery Act is determined by the court, taking into account the circumstances of the case.

For individuals, the maximum prison sentence under the UK Bribery Act can be up to 10 years. Other sanctions under the UK Bribery Act also apply, including disqualification of directors.
