March 2013 - Jitka Logesová, Partner and head of Kinstellar’s firm-wide Compliance, Risk and Sensitive Investigations practice, was the feature presenter at the Anti-Corruption Breakfast Briefing organized by the British Chamber of Commerce in Prague on 20 March. Kinstellar had invited as co-speaker JUDr. Stanislav Mečl, state prosecutor and former Deputy Supreme Public Prosecutor of the Czech Republic, who shared the prosecutor’s view. The focus was on the impact of the FCPA, UK Bribery Act and the new Czech Code on the criminal liability of legal entities, which came into force last year. In light of the serious criminal consequences Czech companies may face as a result of the corrupt behaviour of their employees, board members, intermediaries, agents or subcontractors, Jitka stressed the importance of developing and implementing effective compliance policies and procedures.
Hana Gawlasova, Partner and head of the Telecoms, Media and Technology practice at Kinstellar, also shared her insights on overcoming data protection and privacy law pitfalls when conducting internal investigations.
During the panel discussion, Miroslav Uřičař, general counsel of T-Mobile Czech Republic a.s., shared his practical experience with implementing anti-corruption measures.
