About Courtney Trombly
Ms. Trombly is a partner in King & Spalding’s Special Matters and Government Investigations group in Washington, D.C. Her practice focuses on white collar criminal and civil litigation and internal corporate investigations in a variety of areas, with specific expertise and experience in handling complex Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and False Claims Act matters. She has represented clients in the life sciences, energy, and transportation industries in FCPA matters in a variety of jurisdictions, including China, Angola, West Africa, Iraq, and Latin American and Eastern European countries.
Ms. Trombly started her legal career as a JAG officer in the United States Marine Corps, where she attained the rank of Captain and served as defense counsel for hundreds of Marines and sailors in criminal courts-martials and administrative proceedings. She served as lead counsel in multiple bench and jury trials, and obtained numerous outright acquittals for her clients. In 2005, she received the United States Marine Corps Defense Counsel of the Year Award (Eastern Region).
After the USMC, Ms. Trombly served as an Assistant United States Attorney in the Middle District of Tennessee, where she was a member of the Criminal Division’s White Collar and Corporate Fraud Unit. She served as lead counsel on dozens of white collar crime investigations, including public corruption, money laundering, and securities, bank, ERISA, mail, wire, health care, and bankruptcy frauds. Ms. Trombly was lead counsel for the United States on several high-profile federal jury trials, presented dozens of cases to the grand jury, and appeared in federal court for numerous legal and evidentiary hearings, including appellate proceedings in the Sixth and Second Circuits.
Talking Points:
− Discussion of the DOJ/SEC FCPA Guide’s “Hallmarks of an Effective Compliance Program” and challenges and trends in implementation of various areas such as risk assessments, training, and dedication of sufficient resources.
− “Compliance is Everyone’s Job” — The unique challenges of rolling out compliance “hallmarks” with a cross-functional, multi-disciplinary approach that gives all enterprise stakeholders ownership and accountability for compliance – not just legal / compliance.
− Building business partnerships across functions to make compliance a team effort guided by compliance/legal departments, but owned by all functions.
− Setting the tone: Rolling out compliance measures as a value-add to the business, and trends in educating business partners to see compliance as a business multiplier, not an impediment.
