James Tillen will speak at the American Conference Institute (ACI) "Voluntary Self-Disclosure in 2026: Strategic Considerations for Making the Right Call in Today's Enforcement Environment" webinar on October 23, 2026.

The decision to voluntarily self-disclose potential misconduct has become increasingly complex. While the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) continues to emphasize the benefits of prompt self-disclosure through its Corporate Enforcement Policy and enhanced cooperation incentives, many companies are questioning how these policies translate into practice amid an evolving enforcement landscape.

How should organizations evaluate whether disclosure is the right strategic decision? What factors should compliance and legal teams consider before approaching the government? And how can companies effectively align internal stakeholders and outside counsel when navigating one of the most consequential decisions they may face?

This webinar will explore how organizations are evaluating disclosure decisions, balancing the promise of cooperation credit against legal, business, and reputational risks, and aligning with counsel on a thoughtful and defensible disclosure strategy before engaging the government.

Discussion topics include:

• How the DOJ’s Corporate Enforcement Policy, enhanced self-disclosure incentives, key enforcement trends, and recent resolutions are influencing corporate decision-making
• Critical considerations when determining whether voluntary self-disclosure is the appropriate course of action
• Balancing the potential benefits of cooperation credit with the legal, business, and reputational risks of disclosure
• Building alignment between compliance, legal, executive leadership, and outside counsel before engaging with the government
• Practical considerations for when, how, and what to disclose once the decision has been made
