White collar Crime

New York Law Journal Presents:

Exploring the White Collar Crime Landscape

|VIEW ON DEMAND NOW|

Few topics are on the minds of the New York legal community more than White Collar Crime. The implications of white collar crime investigations and convictions are keeping business executives and their legal departments up at night as they wrestle with issues of compliance, sanctions and more. With this in mind the New York Law Journal is proud to present a one hour video roundtable covering some topics of interest within the White Collar Crime landscape.

The cases below are but a few that are attracting interest and conversation. Please join us and a panel of experts as they discuss the implications of the following:

▪

United States v. Prosperi

  • A look at sentencing issues–again–but this time as it pertains to sentencing guidelines being non-binding.
  • How flexible will appeals courts be now with sentences emanating from the District Courts? Does a reasonableness standard allow courts too much flexibility in sentencing?

▪

United States v. Agrawal

  • How much will the Aleynikov decision affect the Second Circuit’s decision in this case?
  • If the Second Circuit sides with Agrawal how will that affect the ability to prosecute future cases?
