Lex Mundi Global Anti-Corruption Compliance Guide: France Chapter by Gide

29 April 2019

The past decade has seen a significant increase in the implementation and enforcement of anti-corruption legislation around the world. Whether your team is implementing a company-wide anti-corruption compliance code or advising management on a proposed overseas investment, it is imperative that legal functions within organizations understand how relevant anti-corruption laws apply to and inform the way in which they conduct their business.

Gide has contributed to the Lex Mundi Global Anti-Corruption Compliance Guide, which summarizes regulatory regimes in 80 jurisdictions across the Americas, APAC and in EMEA.

Gide is the exclusive member firm in France for Lex Mundi - the world’s leading network of independent law firms with in-depth experience in 100+ countries worldwide.

Partners Bruno Quentin and Jean-Philippe Pons-Henry, members of Gide's Dispute Resolution practice group, are the authors of the France chapter. They answer in particular the following questions:

  • What is the key anti-bribery and corruption legislation in France?
  • Has there been a specific anti-bribery and corruption law enacted in France in the last ten years?
  • Is a bribe payment to domestic government officials prohibited by the legislation?
  • Is a bribe payment to foreign government officials prohibited by the legislation?
  • Is requesting or accepting a bribe prohibited by the legislation?
  • Who is subject to the legislation?
  • Is there criminal liability for corporate entities who have either paid or accepted a bribe payment?
  • What is the penalty for individuals violating the law?
  • Assuming corporate entities are liable for violating the legislation, what is the penalty for corporate entities violating the law? Does having a compliance program designed to prevent bribery constitute a defense? Is it possible for a corporate entity to reach a deferred prosecution agreement or leniency agreement with the enforcement authorities?
