Please join Steptoe and Maeda, Ayres & Sarubbi Advogados, with special guest Larry Walker on Tuesday, October 18, for a complimentary webinar on what companies doing business in Brazil need to know about World Bank and other international financial institution (IFI) investigation and sanctions processes.
