Alcoa Settles SEC Charges of FCPA Violations in Bahrain

On January 9, 2014, Cravath client Alcoa Inc. settled SEC charges and a parallel criminal case concerning alleged FCPA violations in Bahrain following an internal investigation conducted by Cravath and negotiations with both the DOJ and the SEC. Cravath also represented Alcoa in civil litigation concerning these alleged violations and defended Alcoa’s board of directors in related shareholder derivative lawsuits. Both of these matters settled.

The Cravath team included partners Evan R. Chesler and Julie A. North.
