Aziz Rahman writes expert analysis chapter on bribery for the International Comparative Legal Guide - Corporate Investigations 2025

Aziz Rahman is author of one of the expert insight chapters in this year’s International Comparative Legal Guide - Corporate Investigations.

His chapter, “Bribery and Corruption: Investigations and Negotiations Across Jurisdictions’’, is one of the just-published Guide’s five leading analysis chapters. It is the eighth consecutive year that Rahman Ravelli has provided a chapter for the Guide. 

Aziz’s chapter explains how bribery and corruption investigations are carried out and outlines the relevant legislation. It details the approach taken by the UK’s Serious Fraud Office, the powers the agency has and how it responds to those that cooperate with it. Aziz also outlines what factors need to be considered when negotiating with an investigating authority.

He writes about the impact so far of the UK’s Bribery Act and considers some of the most important cases. Corporate liability, the use of deferred prosecution agreements (DPAs) in the UK and elsewhere, sanctions, multilateral development bank investigations and anti-corruption enforcement by US regulators are all also covered in the chapter.
