Global Investigations Review

Matteson Ellis was featured in this Global Investigations Review (GIR) article examining how companies are responding to changes in the U.S. corporate enforcement environment. Ellis noted that many companies remain cautious as they assess the direction of future enforcement activity, stating, "We're in a holding pattern right now. Companies are waiting to see evidence of credible enforcement." Ellis explained that uncertainty surrounding enforcement priorities, coupled with broader economic pressures, is influencing compliance spending decisions. "Until business leaders see compelling evidence of credible enforcement risks it will be hard for compliance teams to make the case for more budget," Ellis told GIR, while emphasizing that "The current lag in enforcement is not anticipated to be the new norm."
