Deming will present a seminar entitled “Implications of International Legal Conventions.” Deming will focus on the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and child abductions.

Deming represents domestic and foreign clients in a range of business and investigatory matters. He provides advice on international transactions, develops and assists in the implementation of compliance programs, directs and conducts due diligence and internal investigations, and represents clients before federal and state agencies and international institutions.

He has successfully litigated on appeal complex international legal issues as well as handled delicate matters involving foreign figures. As a CPA with an MBA, he has also dealt with complex accounting-related issues.
