Online Language Translation and U.S. Anti-bribery Law in the International Arena
Professional legal translation and legal interpreting services are critical to successful international business and corporate transactions. According to a recent Wall Street Journal (Europe) article, in recent years the U.S. government has "dramatically stepped up its pursuit of bribery in other nations by American-based or listed corporations." This crackdown is based on the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and has the intention of prohibiting U.S. companies or companies traded on U.S. stock exchanges from paying, or offering to pay, foreign-government officials or employees of state-owned companies to gain a business advantage. It also covers nonmonetary gifts.
