For this week’s Licks Attorneys Compliance Blog, we will re-air the webinar “FCPA Review 2021 – Hot Cases”, hosted by our partner Alexandre Dalmasso.

Successful compliance programs typically take place in organizations with examples coming from the top. There is no doubt about the fundamental factor for success in such programs: top management engagement, or a culture of example. There is no way for a compliance program to prosper otherwise.

On August 14, 2018, the Brazilian General Data Protection Act (LGPD) – Statute #13,709 established general rules for the protection of every individual’s personal data – something that, until then, lacked safeguards and limits on third-party use.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is the American agency responsible for protecting and promoting public health through the control and supervision of food safety, medicines and the like, a role similar to that performed by ANVISA in Brazil.

One of the greatest Brazilian achievements is undoubtedly the Brazilian Public Healthcare System (SUS). Provided for by Article 196 of the 1988 Brazilian Constitution, it establishes that health is a right for all and a duty of the State, and guarantees to every Brazilian access to public health, regardless of payment to the Brazilian Social-Security Administration (INSS).
