Federal Corporate Sentencing: Compliance and Mitigation

By Jed S. Rakoff

The first book to examine the Organizational Sentencing Guidelines in detail, Federal Corporate Sentencing: Compliance and Mitigation shows how to develop and improve an internal compliance program--a critical preventive tool and the most important mitigating factor in sentencing. Because the Guidelines give legal recognition to compliance programs, a properly designed program can make the difference between a fine of several thousand dollars and one in the tens of millions.

This essential reference also brings you comprehensive coverage of subjects such as: determination of sentences, including aggravating and mitigating factors; global compliance programs; standards of conduct under Sarbanes-Oxley; advocacy strategies when dealing with prosecutors, judges and probation officers; guidance on advising corporations already under federal scrutiny; the use of deferred and non-prosecution agreements; government policies on waiver of the attorney-client privilege and work product protection as proof of a corporation's full cooperation; "corporate probation"; the interplay between the sentencing guidelines for individuals and for corporations; environmental and antitrust offenses; and more.
