The Bribery Act 2010: Four Offences

The Bribery Act 2010 created four offences, all of which Watson Woodhouse Solicitors are available to help with:

• Bribing another individual
• Requesting or agreeing to accept a bribe
• Bribing a Foreign Public Official
• Failing to prevent a person associated with a commercial organisation from bribing another person for the commercial advantage of that organisation (the corporate offence)

How we can help you?

It’s intrinsic to note, that a corporation will be liable if an individual commits any of the first three offences with the consent or involvement of a senior officer. The latter becomes personally liable and the corporation criminally liable for the acts of their employees, subsidiaries and agents. This is the case even if the individual is not tried for the offence. As expert criminal defence solicitors, we’ll guide you through this. Our role is to advise you of all potential outcomes whilst supporting you professionally.
