Butler Snow attorney Jim Letten of our New Orleans office will—for the 11th consecutive year—present at The University of Texas School of Law’s Government Enforcement Institute Annual Conference in Dallas, Texas, on September 18 and 19.
This year, Letten will lead and moderate a discussion among distinguished panelists from the SEC and private practice on Recent Developments Affecting Corporate Enforcement Under the Trump Administration. The annual conference, of which Letten has been a faculty member since its inception 11 years ago—focuses annually on developments in corporate, criminal, civil, and regulatory enforcement issues before an audience consisting of both government and private sector attorneys across the corporate enforcement spectrum.
As a member of Butler Snow’s Commercial Litigation Group based in New Orleans, Letten consults and provides representation to both US and foreign corporations, focusing on the establishment, training and maintenance of US FCPA, UK Bribery Act and other corporate compliance and integrity programs; Anti-Money Laundering/Bank Secrecy Act/Counter-Terrorist Financing (AML/BSA/CTF) corporate compliance programs; crafting and reviewing Anti-Corruption warranties in corporate mergers and acquisitions; training and monitoring state and local police departments on constitutional policing; directing and conducting internal corporate investigations; and advising/representing companies in federal criminal and regulatory investigations; as well as representing companies in complex litigation.
Prior to joining the firm, Letten served continuously as the longest serving United States Attorney in the nation at the time of his retirement, with almost 12 years of continuous service – and 30 years with the Department of Justice.
Letten earned his bachelor’s degree from the University of New Orleans and his Juris Doctor from Tulane University.
