Benesch’s Marisa Darden Discusses Top Enforcement Trends in Law360

June 26, 2025

Marisa Darden, Chair of Benesch’s White Collar, Government Investigations & Regulatory Compliance Practice Group, was quoted in Law360’s recent article “The 5 Big Enforcement Trends White Collar Attys Must Know,” providing key insight on the current uncertainty surrounding Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) enforcement. Individual U.S. attorney’s offices might step in and pick up the slack if the Justice Department is willing to authorize FCPA investigations at the local level, Darden noted.

Darden also noted that companies and counsel may need to pursue alternative channels for resolving investigations given the uncertainty in DOJ enforcement.

The article highlights how shifting political leadership and uncertainty within the Department of Justice are creating a complex and unpredictable enforcement environment, particularly in areas such as Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) cases, public corruption investigations, and cryptocurrency-related enforcement.

A former federal and state prosecutor, Darden leads Benesch’s White Collar team, advising companies and individuals in high-stakes investigations, enforcement matters, and complex litigation.
