Expertise

According to Stuart Deming, author of The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the New International Norms (2005, 2010, ABA):

Bruce Horowitz is one of those rare experts with an expertise as to how to successfully operate in what are often perceived as challenging environments in terms of corruption …. Any company that is engaged in international business, particularly in Latin America, is well advised to seek Bruce Horowitz out. While there is no easy answer to the problems that can arise, his insights and guidance can prove very useful in working through the seemingly intractable problems that can arise.

Bruce has advised international clients on FCPA and Anti-Corruption Compliance matters, and provided anti-extortion training and advice to corporate, government and individual clients, lawyers, paralegals, law students, accountants, and others. He is Co-Chair of the American Bar Association’s International Anti-Corruption Committee, and is the TRACE International law firm (PAZ HOROWITZ, est. 1991) partner representative in Ecuador.

Bruce has spoken and taught at universities and conferences in the USA, Ecuador, Argentina, and India, and at the World Bank and Inter-American Development Bank, on the topic of getting what is rightfully yours without submitting to extortionist government functionaries. He has written articles on the use of Positive Deviance and negotiation principles and techniques in handling extortionist government functionaries, and on other Bribery and Corruption issues.
