As cybercrime, identity theft, and financial fraud rise, regulators are ramping up their responses— and companies and their compliance teams need to adapt to that change. Dr. Simone Kaempfer, partner at law firm Freshfields and head of the firm’s White Collar Defense Practice Group for Continental Europe, is an expert at navigating complex commercial legislation and compliance issues.

Dr. Kaempfer is one of the most respected criminal defence lawyers in Germany. She defends companies and individuals in white collar crime proceedings in and out of court. She has extensive experience in advising companies in all areas of white collar crime including matters relating to embezzlement, corruption, fraud, money laundering, insider trading and foreign trade law.

In this episode of BCG on Compliance, Dr. Kaempfer brings her unique perspective on how legal frameworks are evolving and what that means for compliance professionals. We discuss how AI is impacting white-collar crime and compliance advisory, the legal implications of ‘AI-washing’ and ‘swatting’, and the key differences between AI regulation in the USA and in Europe.
