Perhaps each time he receives a pay-check the law might be implicated? He might want to contact the British authorities on this topic.<br /><br />Also, one would need to do a country by country analysis of the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3249858307559481775.post-56241825940274306052010-04-22T17:58:27.462-04:002010-04-22T17:58:27.462-04:00Paul Weiss

I don't know whether the Paul Weiss firm has any UK offices, but if so, I wonder whether their hiring of Mendelsohn would have violated this new law had it been effective when he got the job offer?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3249858307559481775.post-89423104648378207002010-04-16T19:42:27.724-04:002010-04-16T19:42:27.724-04:00It appears the comments of the commentators, espec...It appears the comments of the commentators, especially in the blogosphere, have had an impact.
